Sweet-tart Slow Cooker Cranberry Sauce

"This slow cooker cranberry sauce is a delicious holiday side made with fresh cranberries, orange juice, brown sugar, and ginger, all simmered in the slow cooker until thick and glossy. The sauce is finished with dried cranberries, pecans, and orange zest for extra texture and flavor. It is an easy make ahead option for Thanksgiving or Christmas, and it keeps well in the fridge or freezer. Serve it chilled or at room temperature alongside turkey, ham, or pork. One of my favorite little “secrets” to a peaceful holiday kitchen is this slow cooker cranberry sauce. Instead of babysitting a pot on the stove, I can plug in my slow cooker, pour everything in, and let it quietly bubble away while I visit with family and finish the rest of the Thanksgiving spread.
