• 1 Spray 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In slow cooker, place all sauce ingredients. Cover; cook on High heat setting 2 to 3 hours or until thickened.
• 2 Toward end of cooking time, heat waffle iron. (Waffle irons without a nonstick coating may need to be brushed with vegetable oil or sprayed with cooking spray before batter for each waffle is added.) In large bowl, mix all waffle ingredients with whisk just until smooth.
• 3 Pour slightly less than 3/4 cup batter onto center of hot waffle iron. (Check manufacturer’s directions for recommended amount of batter.) Close lid of waffle iron. Bake about 5 minutes or until steaming stops. Carefully remove waffle. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve waffles with warm berry sauce.
