This recipe is an adaptation of one that appeared in Gourmet magazine. It’s an absolutely mouth-watering dessert for late summer when these luscious fruits are
at their peak. The advantage to making it in the slow cooker, rather than in the oven, is that you
can be doing other things while it cooks to perfection.
