Memorial Day is one of my favorite holidays because, for me, it’s synonymous with the start of summer. This weekend, I’m planning to go to the beach and, of course, barbecue. But even though we’ll be grilling meat and veggies, our slow cooker probably won’t get a break. I’ve come across a number of delicious, seasonal crock-pot sweets that would be perfect for serving at summer parties. Best of all, you can use blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries to create red, white and blue desserts–how perfect for Memorial Day or July 4th!
Slow Cooker Summer Fruit Compote: Warm summer fruit served over ice cream? Yes, please!
Slow Cooker Fruit Crumble: A delicious a la mode dish with the red, white and blue motif.
Crock-pot Peach Compote: Peaches are one of my favorite summer fruits. As soon as I get my first fresh ones of the season, I’m trying this recipe from A Year of Slow Cooking.
Slow Cooker Sour Cherry Rice Pudding: This recipe calls for dried cherries, but I’d like to try using fresh fruit.
Slow Cooker Cheeky Cherry Cobbler: The CrockPot Guys‘ yummy-looking, super-easy recipe calls for canned cherry pie filling, though you could make your own first.
