Slow Cooker Cranberry Sauce

Slow Cooker Cranberry Sauce is perfect for any holiday meal and so quick and easy using your crockpot!

Using my slow cooker for holiday meal prep is like having a secret weapon in my kitchen.  It basically works as a second oven. And for those of us who only have one oven in our kitchen, it is a life saver. Plus, using the slow cooker for this recipe helps infuse and enhance all the great citrus flavors into the sauce. 

The best part of any slow cooker recipe is that everything goes in the slow cooker, you turn it on and forget it!

How To Make Slow Cooker Cranberry Sauce

• Place all the ingredients into a 6 qt. slow cooker
• Stir to combine.
• Cook on high for 2-3 hours and then on low for 4-5 hours until ready to serve.

Cranberry sauce is good on so many things, not just turkey.  One of my favorite ways to use it is on a turkey sandwich after Thanksgiving.  Add a thin layer of cream cheese, a few spoonfuls of cranberry sauce and then your sliced turkey.  I’ve even been known to sneak a little leftover dressing into the sandwich too.
