January 1, 2013 Leave a comment

This tastes so good with pork chops but I’m sure there are a lot of other things too:

 

What You Will Need:

–    4 ½ cups of mostly peeled, chopped up apples

–   2 ½ cups of cranberries

–   ¾ cup of apple juice

–   2 ½ cups of brown sugar

–   1 ½ tsp of pumpkin pie spice

 

What You Will Need to do:

1.   In your slow cooker, mix the apples and cranberries.

2.   Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well together.

3.   Cook on LOW for 10 hours.

4.   Next, let the contents of the slow cooker cool down.  It is okay to place in it the refrigerator, if you’d like.

5.   Drain all the liquid and place the solid mixture in a blender and blend until everything becomes smooth.

6.   Place in an airtight container and place in the refrigerator when you’re not enjoying.
