Old-Fashioned Peach Butter
Cinnamon and ground cloves add down-home flavor to this spread for toast or biscuits. Using the slow cooker eliminates much of the stirring required when simmering fruit butter on the stovetop. —Marilou Robinson, Portland, Oregon

- 2-1/2 cups sugar
- 4-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

- 1/2 cup quick-cooking tapioca
