Slow Cooker Sweet Tooth Recipes

August 5, 2015

Bet you didn’t know you could make all this sweet stuff in a Slow Cooker!

Slow Cooker sweets and Deserts - By Patchwork Cactus blog

Hi Guys,

are we sick of Winter or are we happy? I am quite happy for it to stay cold, we have a fire, I don't have to wear swimmers and I'm loving bunkering down in our little patchwork house.

I'm pretty over stodgy food though, but I have a brand new slow cooker…. do you see my conundrum?

Casserole-style dinners do not float my boat and there is only so much Dr Pepper pulled pork one gal can eat before she needs to buy a new wardrobe* so I have been turing my attention towards the less common slow cooker recipes out there. The ones that satisfy my sweet tooth, or teeth, (pretty sure there is more than one of them.)

How beautiful does all that food look? (That picture at the top for those of you who aren't following.) I realise that you can make all of these things without a slow cooker, I do. But between my two little people and my superhuman ability to get distracted, this is really the safest way for me to cook right now. And who doesn't love a good novelty recipe? 

Blueberry Thyme Jam
Slow Cooker Yoghurt
Lemon and Strawberry Curds
Brown Rice and Chia Seed Pudding. 

*I realise that these recipes also have the power to shrink my clothes.
