Breakfast from the Slow Cooker

contributed by Chet's Crock


Penney's Slow Cooker Oatmeal

2 cups milk
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tbs melted butter
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup quick cooking oats
1 cup chopped apple
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Grease the inside of the crockpot. Put ingredients inside crockpot and mix with wire whisk. Cover just before going to bed and turn on low. It will be ready in the morning.

Hot and Spicy Pecans

1/4 cup butter (4 oz) cut in pieces
6 cups pecans
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp onion salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Place cut up butter in slow-cooker and heat, uncovered, on HIGH until melted (15 to 20 minutes). Add pecans and stir to coat. Cover and cook on HIGH 30 minutes. Uncover and cook on HIGH 2 1/2 hours longer, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with the seasonings and toss to coat. Spread on a baking sheet to cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months. Serve at room temperature or warm.

Slow Cooker Apple Butter

7 cups applesauce, unsweetened
2 cups apple cider
1 1/2 cups honey
1 Tbs ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp Allspice

In a slow-cooker, mix all ingredients. Cover and cook on low heat for 14 to 15 hours, or until the mixture is deep brown. Pack while hot into 4 hot pint jars. Process in hot-water bath for 10 minutes, counting the time after the jars have been immersed and the water comes again to a rolling boil. (Or to keep, you could freeze the jars.) Makes 4 pints.
