Instructions
- Add all of the above ingredients to your slow cooker on high for 2 hours.
- Once the majority of the berries have popped and the house smells AMAZING, allow sauce to cool.
- Next puree using a food processor, blender, or immersion blender.
- Give it a taste and feel free to sweeten a bit more if desired, this sauce has my ideal ratio of sweetness and tartness and I'm beyond in love with the flavor, but won't be offended if you add a pinch of brown sugar or a little extra honey.
- The final step? Slather it on everything!
- It'll keep in the fridge for up to four days and can be frozen for several months and reheated whenever the craving strikes!
- In a rush? This stellar sauce can absolutely be made on the stove top over medium heat in a fraction of the time. In about 10-15 minutes your'll have a gorgeous cranberry sauce that thickens as it cools. I'm just hopelessly addicted to recipes I can toss in the slow cooker and walk away from, especially since I'm usually multi-tasking my face off. Plus when you're cooking up a huge holiday feast, oven and stove-top space are prime real estate, yo!
- Regardless of the method you choose, the results will be fantastic! Enjoy!
Notes
- No strawberries? No problem! Simply add extra apple in place of the strawberry in the recipe and you're good to go! This recipe is super versatile and easily customizable too. Sweeten to taste and get ready to rock your Thanksgiving spread!
- note: for a fun and edible garnish when you pop the lid to stir the fruit, fish out a few cranberries, sprinkle with granulated sugar and set aside until you're ready to plate the sauce. You can also garnish with a little bit of mint, basil, or even parsley for a pop of green.
