" At 3 a.m. the other morning I suddenly woke up, remembering that I had left the slow cooker on. I was making this dried fruit compote, and when the cooking time was over it was still a little too liquidy, so I took the lid off and continued to cook on high. Until 3 o&amp;#039;clock in the morning. When some not-sleeping part of my brain remembered it and prodded me awake. The fruit was more dried out than I would&amp;#039;ve liked, but I just stirred in a few tablespoons of water, unplugged the cooker and closed the lid. By morning I had fragrant stewed fruit in a sweetly perfumed sauce. It was perfect with some tart plain Greek yogurt and a few pistachios on top.  This recipe, from Eating Well, starts simply. I boiled 3 1/2 cups water and then brewed 3 bags of green tea in it. Then I added 2 tablespoons sugar and the grated zest from 1 lemon. I removed the bags and discarded them.  I chopped 2 cups apricots and mixed it with 1 cup dried cranberries in the slow cooker. (You can use 3 cups of any type of dried fruit.) I poured the green tea mixture into the cooker and cooked covered on high for 2 hours. If I had left it alone at this point, it would&amp;#039;ve been more syrupy, which would be great with yogurt. I took the lid off to boil off some of the extra liquid. But don&amp;#039;t forget about it! This is a great way to start the year off with a healthy breakfast.
