Leeks in the crockpot

A simple post. If you slice leeks and leave them in the crockpot on high for 5 or 6 hours, they seem almost to caramelize. Suzanne had some of the resulting leek pie today - - just the leeks, some egg beaters poured on top of them after I put them in a bread-dough-lined casserole, and red peppers on top, cooked for 40 min. They would have been better with some hummus, but they were good nonetheless.
