This slow cooker cranberry sauce comes together fast and makes your house smell amazing!

Slow Cooker Cranberry Sauce

  I’m not gonna lie, I grew up eating cranberry gel from a can and I liked it. However, I had a coupon for fresh cranberries so I decided to try a slow cooker cranberry sauce recipe and it turned out great! Since it cooks in 4 hours it would be perfect to put together on Thanksgiving morning to let cook while you tend to other things.

How to Make Slow Cooker Cranberry Sauce:

Mix sugar, water and cinnamon in slow cooker.

Rinse cranberries and add to slow cooker with apple. Stir.

Cook on high for 3 hours.

Remove lid and mash berries. Cook on high for another 30-45 minutes or until desired thickness is obtained.

Enjoy!

    This is great! I agree, I used to like the canned stuff, too... okay, I will *still* eat it if no other option presents itself. (I may, or may not, have eaten half the can at my mother-in-law's the other day...) But this sounds like a WAY better option! Thanks for sharing at the From the Farm Blog Hop! I'm looking forward to seeing what you share this week! ~ Christine

      LOL! I know a lot of people really dislike the canned stuff, but when that's what you grew up on then it's hard to beat! :)

    Has anyone tried subbing honey or maple syrup or something in place of the brown sugar? Just wondering how it might come out.

      I haven't tried that, but I bet it would turn out fine.

      It should serve around 8-10 small portions.

        We love this recipe! A family member is allergic to oranges and orange juice which is usually included in these cranberry sauce recipes. The apple makes it so tasty and safe for her to eat. Thank you!

    There's a lady at our church that makes this. She adds a jalapeno or two, and then serves it on Cream Cheese to go with crackers. It is addicting, so good.

    Love the simplicity and old fashioned goodness of your recipes. Just wanted to mention, you might want to clarify that after mashing the berries the lid remains off the crockpot in order for the sauce to thicken. (Unless I've misunderstood) Thank you for sharing!

    Love your cranberry sauce recipe! I did make a couple of changes to it. Wrapped 1 cinnamon stick and 1/8 tsp whole cloves wrapped in cheese cloth. Also added the zest of one orange the way my grandmother did.
