Your Key Ingredient:

NESCO Slow Cooker

NESCO Digital Smart Canner

Ingredients:

• 1 (12 oz) bag fresh cranberries

• 1 cup orange juice

• 1 tablespoon orange zest

• 1 cup sugar (adjust to taste)

• 2 tablespoons water

• Optional add-ins: cinnamon stick, cloves, or a splash of vanilla

Instructions:

1. Add the cranberries, orange juice, orange zest, sugar, water, and any optional add-ins to your NESCO Slow Cooker. Stir to combine.
2. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2–3 hours or LOW for 4–5 hours, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce begins to thicken.
3. Remove the cinnamon stick and cloves, if used. Stir the sauce and taste, adding more sugar if desired.
