Ingredients
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 4 cups fresh cranberries, or 1 (16-ounce) package frozen cranberries
  • 1¼ cups sugar
  • 1 (2.7-ounce) jar crystallized ginger, chopped (about ⅓ cup)

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Dash of salt
  • 2 Tablespoons orange juice

Instructions
  1. Spray a medium ( 3½- to 5-quart) slow cooker with nonstick spray.
  2. Combine the cranberries, sugar, ginger, apricots, cinnamon, salt, water, orange juice, and vinegar in the slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 5 to 7 hours, or until the fruit is tender and the mixture is bubbling. (It will be thin.)
