When I saw this Slow Cooker Cranberry Sauce over at Lynn’s
I couldn’t wait to try it
I had all the ingredients on hand
Into the crock pot they went
Along with a few tired clementines
This is how it looked after 1 hour
and after 3 hours
After stirring at 3 hours, leave the crock pot lid off and let it cook for another 30 minutes
It will significantly reduce down to a lovely thick sauce
All done!
This batch won’t make it to Thanksgiving…
I have plans to use it in a fabulous recipe coming up soon!

In the meantime,
here are some favorite holiday recipes using cranberries
Last year I made a similar cranberry sauce,
Cranberry Orange Sauce with Maple
It was fantastic paired with bacon wrapped Brussels sprouts for a festive appetizer
Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts with Cranberry Orange Glaze
It is also wonderful on a flatbread
like this Holiday Cranberry Flatbread made with Thanksgiving leftovers
Cranberry Walnut Spirals with Gorgonzola Butter sound fancy
but they’re actually easy to make
These will definitely get gobbled!
White Cheddar Cranberry Fondue can be made and served
straight from a mini crock pot
And for dessert…
White Chocolate Cranberry Ice Cream
‘Tis the season for all things cranberry!
