For slow cookers with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer's directions for layering ingredients and choosing a temperature.

Steps:

• Drain all fruit and gently combine in crock pot.
• Melt the butter and, in a small bowl, stir in the brown sugar and curry powder until well mixed.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy 6-quart pot over moderately high heat until it shimmers and cook the cinnamon, star anise, and cloves for 1 minute. Add the brown mustard seeds and chile. When the seeds pop and are fragrant, after about 30 seconds, remove the pan from the heat and carefully add the orange juice and apple cider. Bring the mixture to a boil and add the cherries, dates, zest, ginger, apricots, cranberries, fennel, yellow mustard seeds, and vinegar. Briskly simmer the mixture, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced and the fruits are softened and tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Stir in salt to taste. Let the chutney cool completely before serving. The chutney keeps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 week.

Steps:

• In a large (3 to 4 quart) Stainless Steel or other non-reactive pot, combine the fruits, onions, vinegar, water, sugar, spices and salt.
• Stirring frequently, bring to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat to low and simmer partially covered for about one hour or until the fruits are reduced to pulp and the chutney is thick enough to hold its shape almost solidly in a spoon; stir it frequently as it begins to thicken to prevent it from sticking.
• Remove the pan from the heat and ladle the chutney into either 1/2 pint or pint jars that have been sterilized filling to within 1/8 inch of the top; put into a boiling water bath for 10 to 15 minutes then remove from water and let cool before storing; refrigerate any jars where the lids didn't seal.
