Crockpot Cranberry Sauce
If you grew up eating cranberry sauce from the can, you have no idea how delicious homemade cranberry sauce is
Ingredients
- 12 ounce bag or 3 cups fresh cranberries
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup maple syrup granulated or brown sugar, or your preferred sweetener (adding more/less to taste)
- optional add-ins: a splash or bourbon or red wine orange zest, a pinch of ground ginger, a pinch of cinnamon and cloves, some chopped walnuts, or a splash of vanilla extract, store-bought or homemade
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to the bowl of a slow cooker and stir to combine.
- Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 7-8 hours, or until the cranberries have popped open and the sauce is bubbly.
- Taste and stir in any extra sweetener or add-ins if desired. Serve warm. (Heads up that the sauce will thicken considerably as it cools.)
