Slow Cooker Orange Cranberry Sauce - The Kreative Life

Christmas is almost here and I am so excited! Between deployments and family emergencies, this is the first time in over 3 years that we’ll be spending Christmas at home as a family. Last year my husband was deployed, I had a toddler and had another on the way so it was a little difficult for me. Luckily, my mom, sister, and nieces were able to visit us. I was so happy that they were driving up to Colorado for Christmas that I wanted to have a special meal planned. My menu for Christmas was a basic menu (turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing…), but I wanted to make each dish a little special. I made homemade cranberry sauce and it was delicious! Now that my husband is back home (and since he didn’t get a chance to taste my new recipe) I wanted to make him my new Crock Pot orange-cranberry sauce recipe, but with a kreative twist of course. Enjoy!

Crock Pot Orange-Cranberry Sauce
 
Ingredients
  • 2 Cups Fresh Cranberries
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 Tsp. Nutmeg
  • 1 Tsp. Orange Zest
  • ½ Cup Fresh Orange Juice
  • ¼ Tsp. Orange Extract
Instructions
  1. Place cranberries in a colander under cold running water. Gently wash cranberries. Pour cranberries and water into the slow cooker. Turn slow cooker to high heat (may be cooked on low heat, but cooking time will be longer). Slowly stir in sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, zest, juice, and extract. Allow cranberries to cook for 2 hours, occasionally stirring. Allow to cool before serving.

    We just picked up a bag of cranberries at the store so I’ll share this recipe with my husband who loves to make the sauce. We don’t have orange extract so I hope that it won’t hurt to make it without.

      Hi Marcia,

      The orange extract won’t hurt the flavor too much because you still use orange juice. I hope you like it!

    This sounds like a delicious dish for those who like cranberries. I’m glad your family is together this year, those other years must not have been the greatest. I could never imagine being away from both husband and family. You have more reason to celebrate this year.

    Every year, we spend Christmas day together with family members who live closeby. My eldest cousin will be the host this year and we are all looking forward to catching up with cousins, aunts, uncles and the newest additions to the family. Thank you for the recipe. I will print copies of it and share it with my cousins. 🙂

    That looks delicious! What part of Colorado are you in? I’m in Loveland and looking to have meetups with other bloggers. Anyway, I love cranberry sauce, but everyone one on my husband’s side of the family hates it! I’ve missed this dish at family gatherings for years because I”m the only one that eats it. I say they have no idea what they are missing! 😉 I’m glad your husband is back home for the holidays. That can be so stressful and just sad when they are deployed.

      Hi, Heather! They definitely have no idea what they’re missing, especially when fresh cranberries are used. Deployments are really hard during the holidays and hopefully we won’t have to go through anymore. I hope you enjoy your holidays!

    Perfect for this time of year. I do love a good cranberry sauce. I didn’ t think to make one in a slow cooker.

      I love how they taste in the slow cooker, plus I don’t have to constantly stir them or worry about them boiling over.
