I will definitely try these. Your warning about the sugar burning, made me wonder if you have tried aluminum foil between the crock and the heating element. My crock pot was always cooking everything too fast and was burning in some spots. So I wrapped the crock in heavy duty aluminum foil and not more burning and the temperature is now more even.
yes you can use foil, that does help. Sugar will burn on foil too. But, the foil will make it easier to clean up!
Omg! This soo good!!
I didn’t have clove so I used Allspice !!
I sprinkled salt over while still warm.
Totally delicious!!
