Slow Cooker Cranberry Apple Cider
I love slow cooking but honestly never thought about making a hot cider or any other drink in my crock pot.
But when I found this particular cider and how beautiful it looked in the pot and in the mug, I knew I had to include this delicious recipe from Ashley at The Recipe Rebel.
What is so perfect about this recipe is the fact you can take an already tasty drink – cider, hot or cold and ramp it up with the addition of cranberries.
And who doesn’t love cranberries?
The tartness with the sweetness of the apple is a perfect combination.
It simmers for hours in the pot, and the smell adds another holiday touch to the house. What a win-win combination.
Serves this to your family maybe while decorating the Christmas Tree or while doing an all wrapping party. It doesn’t matter when you serve it because the whole family will love it!
