I first had this as a teenage babysitter, when the children’s mom prepared it for us to eat while she was out. The kids loved it, and so did I! Now I make it for my own kids.

Ingredients

5 chicken leg quarters, skin removed
1/3 cup seedless raspberry spreadable fruit
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon spicy brown mustard
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water

Directions

Place chicken in a 3-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the spreadable fruit, soy sauce, mustard and pepper; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until meat is tender.
Remove chicken to a serving platter; keep warm. Skim fat from cooking juices; transfer to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually stir into the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with chicken.
