Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 large honeycrisp apple (2.5 cups diced - skin optional)
  • 1 medium orange (enough for 1/2 tsp of zest + 1/4 cup of juice)
  • 3 TBSP honey, plus extra to taste
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Grate the zest from your orange until you have about 1/2 teaspoon of zest, then slice and squeeze out 1/4 cup of juice.
  2. Add your zest and juice along with all the above ingredients into your slow cooker, cover, and cook for 2 hours on high or 3-4 hours on low.
  3. I made a point to stir it every so often, if only for the mere excuse of licking the the spoon and filling the house with the smell of amazing cinnamon apple cranberry deliciousness.
  4. For an ultra smooth cranberry sauce, blend using an immersion blender (or blender or food processor) until glossy and luscious.

Notes

  • Nutrition facts below are an estimate provided by an online nutrition calculator. Adjust as needed and you're good to go! xo
  • I kept the sweet stuff to a minimum because I adore a little bit of crisp, refreshing tartness to offset the sweetness. Feel free to heavy hand the honey if your sweet tooth runneth over or you can even opt for regular or brown sugar. Totally try it with less first then adjust to taste. You might surprise yourself!
