SLOW-COOKER TOMATO COMPOTE
This savory compote - a typically sweet, slow-simmered fruit preserve - is a delicious way to eat cherry tomatoes, especially those that are on the verge of being too soft. But it's also a great way to intensify the flavor of middling supermarket cherry tomatoes in the winter. Either way, the sweet-tart tomatoes can build super-quick meals: Put them on top of ricotta or avocado toast, or squish them into a grilled cheese. Toss them with hot or cold pasta. Use the oil and juices in salad dressings and the tomatoes in the salad itself. The compote can be used right away, but it's best the next day and will keep in the fridge for at least a week. Feel free to throw in any hardy, woody herbs you like, but don't add very delicate herbs like basil, chives or dill before cooking. You can add a handful of those softer herbs before serving, if you like.

Steps:
- In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, add the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, honey, vinegar, herbs and red-pepper flakes (if using), and stir to combine. Season with 2 teaspoons salt and a few generous grinds of pepper. Cook on low for 6 hours, until the tomatoes are wrinkled, sweet and very soft, and some have burst. Remove the herb sprigs and squeeze in the lemon juice. Taste, and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, seasonal fruits: This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your compote.
- Use a variety of fruits: This will give your compote a more complex flavor and texture.
- Add spices and herbs: These can enhance the flavor of the fruit and make your compote more interesting.
- Sweeten to taste: Some fruits are naturally sweeter than others, so you may need to add more or less sugar to your compote, depending on your taste preferences.
- Cook the compote until the fruit is tender: This will take about 1-2 hours on low in a slow cooker.
- Let the compote cool slightly before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
