    This delicious fruit salad is my own version of a delicious fruit salad that I get at one of my favorite butchers.

    I’ve signed up for a 31-day writing challenge. Every day in October, I post a new slow cooker recipe, a link to a previously posted slow cooker recipe, or a recipe from another blog.
