EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Many supermarkets now carry a wide variety of dried fruits. Dried blueberries or cherries are delicious substitutes for the cranberries.

Toasting the almonds not only enhances their flavor and color but also helps prevent them from becoming soggy after they are stirred into the wild rice mixture.

NOT a very pretty dish . . . but tasty and flavorful. If you're already a fan of wild rice - this recipe is a keeper! It's oh-so-easy in the crockpot. The dried cranberries add just enough sweet and the toasted almonds a nice crunch. I wish it looked as great as it tastes. I accumulated a handful of tasty slow cooker recipes and this is one of them.
