Cranberry Pudding with Sauce (in the slow cooker) image

When I became diabetic, a good friend, gave me some cookbooks to help me. Most of the recipes seem like regular recipes to me. This one does call for some fat-free and light products. But, you can use regular ones, if you want. From Fix-It and Forget-It Diabetic Cookbook. Start with a 4 quart slow cooker. This recipe is similar to an English pudding, which is like a steamed cake & has a sauce on the side to pour on individual portions. So, it isn't what we are used to as a pudding at all.
