    Slow Cooker Berry Cider is a heavenly hot crockpot party punch that's perfect for the holidays made with spiced apple cider and frozen berries!

    This post was sponsored by Oregon Berries but all opinions are 100% my own. 

    Why this recipe works:

    This warm berry cider is just about the easiest holiday entertaining recipe you can find.

    Everyone knows hot apple cider is a holiday entertaining necessity, but have you ever added Marion Blackberries and Red Raspberries to your cider?

    The end result is the most insanely rich and delicious slow cooker berry cider that tastes like a berry pie. It's perfectly sweetened from the spiced apple cider, and made perfectly tart from the Oregon Marion Blackberries and Red Raspberries.

    The slow cooker cider is perfect for holiday entertaining, whether it be a formal cocktail party, an ugly sweater gift exchange, or a holiday dinner.

    One of the best parts is that this recipe is completely kid friendly, but you can easily make an adult version by adding a hefty splash of your favorite boozy beverage. When I served this at our party over the weekend, I set out vodka and spiced rum so that my guests could spike their hot cider according to their taste preferences.

    Here's how to make it:

    1. The basic idea is that you combine equal parts of spiced apple cider with frozen berries in the crockpot. Let them cook together for at least an hour. package of frozen raspberries and blackberries
    2. Then, all you need to do is strain the berries to remove the fleshy pulp and seeds. Don't worry - all of their intense flavor will remain in the cider and if you have chickens and goats like I do, feeding them the seeds and pulp is the best treat!

    Fresh or frozen?

    Fall and winter is typically the time you would want to enjoy a warm cider, and that is exactly when fresh berries are not in season.

    Since you're turning the berries into a warm beverage, frozen berries work the same, if not better, than fresh berries. Why? Because frozen berries are flash frozen at the peak of their ripeness, so they usually have a ton of great flavor.
