Slow Cooker Cranberry and Pomegranate Sauce
Homemade cranberry sauce is one of those recipes that's worth making from scratch, especially with the addition of sweet tart pomegranate. Let the slow cooker do the work while the flavors gently come together into a beautiful holiday side everyone will remember.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- 1 pomegranate de-seeded about 1 cup of seeds
- 1 cup orange juice*
- 1/2 cup sugar**
- 2 tsp orange zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cinnamon sticks
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into your slow cooker and give it a good stir.
- Turn your slow cooker to low, and cook for 3-4 hours (depending on your slow cooker). Cranberries will pop and soften. Remove cinnamon sticks.
- Sauce will be runny, but will thicken up once it cools.
Notes
*I used the juice of 2 oranges, but you can also use store bought orange juice.
**You can use 1/2 cup coconut sugar or 1/2 cup honey for a Paleo version!
