- 12 oz. bag fresh cranberries
- Handful whole cloves
- Couple cinnamon sticks
Directions
- Pour the apple juice into the slow cooker. Add the fresh cranberries, whole cloves and cinnamon sticks.
- Set on high for 4 hours. Strain the cranberries, cloves and cinnamon sticks before serving.

This looks so yummy! I think we are having a cranberry apple theme this year, because I’m making cranberry apple compote as our cranberry sauce.
Gail says
This sounds great! Will it be ok or as tasty with this being leftover juice being cold in refrig?
