Apple Cider Cranberry Sauce made in the slow cooker. It’s like edible thanksgiving potpourri. You’ll never buy canned cranberry sauce again!
Hi. My name is Sloan, and I’m going to have a nervous breakdown! Not really, but I’m extremely stress, but wanted to share this awesome recipe with you guys before Thanksgiving.
Homemade Cranberry Sauce is easy. It’s basically 4 ingredients simmered together. You can strain it to remove the skin of the cranberry or serve it as is. I personally like it strained, but it’s completely up to you. I decided to cook this in the slow cooker, but cooking it on the stove is just as easy.
Any cider will work for the recipe. I actually tried it with a leftover pear cider and it came out great.
