Slow Cooker Cranberry Brisket
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
#CranberryWeek has arrived! I have been looking forward to this. For the entire week I am teaming up with my fellow food blogging friends to bring you some of our favorite cranberry recipes, from appetizer to dessert and everything in between.
For today, I have my recipe for slow cooker cranberry brisket which I have made using a small brisket piece I got at the market. You can really use any size that fits into your slow cooker. The liquid will cook it in amounts up to 3-4 pounds of meat. And that is if you want adequate sauce.
I based this recipe on an old recipe for cranberry chicken which I first tried on Recipezaar years ago that used cranberry sauce, onion soup mix and French dressing. That was an interesting take, which reminded me of cranberry bbq- so I took the same idea and applied it here to the brisket.
The meat works out nicely piled on the plate or you could also put it on sandwich buns for a brisket sandwich. Great side dishes for this would be things like sweet potatoes or potatoes gratin and perhaps a kale salad or sauteed greens. Perhaps you can pair it with one of the recipes from other bloggers below! Don’t forget to scroll down and take a peek!
Tomorrow I have my recipe for Cranberry-Sage breakfast sausage set to post so be sure to stop by for that. Until next time-
