Step 1: Combine the ingredients in the crock pot set on "high". Mine is the large size so not sure how this would work with a smaller crock. Stir after 30 minutes then keep an eye on it. It is supposed to take 2 hrs but I would watch it closely after the first hour. Once it starts to brown, it can burn quickly!
Step 2: Allow to cool and then add dried fruit if desired.
Step 3: Note: Substitutions are endless... for butter you could use coconut oil. I have already mentioned honey and maple syrup, you could probably try brown sugar. Obviously the ginger could be replaced with cinnamon. Have fun!
