Here are some commonly asked questions
What is the best way to store leftover cranberry cider?
This recipe keeps well when transferred to an airtight pitcher and kept refrigerated until ready to serve again.
Can I use frozen cranberries?
Yes, absolutely, that will work just fine. No need to thaw them first. The warmth of the liquid will take care of that for you.
HOW DO YOU MAKE Slow Cooker Cranberry Cider?
- Combine cranberry juice, apple cider, cranberries, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks & cloves in the crockpot.
- Cook on high if you plan on using within 2-3 hours. Cook on low for longer.
- Allow to simmer & warm until ready to serve- stirring occasionally.
- Ladle into mugs, garnish with an additional cinnamon stick
- Add in one ounce of rum per mug if desired.
Can I use a sugar substitute?
I have not personally tried it, so I can’t say how that would turn out. But if you would like to try it, I suggest a product that offers a 1:1 swap. Please let me know how it turns out.

Can I use diet juice?

Want to know how to make your own brown sugar – visit my Homemade Brown Sugar post here.
What slow cooker do you use?
We actually have several slow cookers that we have acquired over the years from doing this job. I have a smaller one that is great for half recipes.
But the one I use the most is this standard, no-frills slow cooker that is perfect for this particular recipe.
