HAVING A PARTY??

You will have more time with your guests when you serve hot beverages or appetizers in a crockpot.

Several hours before a party, combine the ingredients for your hot drink and turn your crockpot on LOW. Your beverage will be ready to serve when your guests arrive. It will also stay hot without scorching, boiling over or sticking.

Exact breweing times are unimportant when brewing most hot punches. After several hours, the various fruit juices blend together for a smooth taste. However, if left on too many hours over the suggested time, they may become slightly bitter.

Hot appetizers stay hot in a slow cooker. Heated cheese or bean dip is the right consistency and temperature.
