Slow Cooker Strawberries Recipe
Ingredients:
4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
1/4 cup honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp lemon juice (adds brightness)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: a pinch of cinnamon or a few fresh mint leaves
Instructions:
Prep your strawberries: Wash, hull, and cut them in halves (or quarters if they’re large).
Layer in the slow cooker: Place the strawberries in the crockpot and sprinkle the sugar or drizzle honey over them. Add lemon juice and vanilla.
Cook low and slow: Set your slow cooker on low for 2–3 hours. Stir gently halfway through.
Let them rest: After cooking, let the strawberries sit with the lid off for 10–15 minutes to thicken slightly.
Serve and store: Enjoy warm or cool. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for later use.
