Directions
Place apple, pear and lemon juice in a 4-1/2-quart electric slow cooker, toss gently.
Combine brown sugar, syrup and butter. Spoon mixture over fruit. Stir in pecans, raisins and cinnamon. Cover and cook on LOW 5-1/2 hours.
Combine water and cornstarch in a small bowl, stir until well blended. Stir cornstarch mixture into fruit. Cover and cook 20 minutes or until slightly thickened; stir well. Makes 4-1/2 cups (serving size about 1/3 cup).
Note: Cornstarch is preferred to thicken fruit sauces because it doesn't mask the fruit's color and texture; however, if cooked too long, cornstarch loses its thickening power, causing the sauce to become thin.
