Preparation
Step 1
* To make the glaze, in a small bowl, combine preserves, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Stir well.
* Put all of the veggies in a crock pot and top with the glaze.
* Use a large spoon to stir the contents of the crock pot up a bit. (Don’t worry if the preserves mixture isn’t evenly distributed.)
* Cover and cook on high for 3 - 4 hours or on low for 7 - 8 hours.
* Once the veggies are cooked, in another small bowl, combine cornstarch with 2 tbsp. cold water, and stir until the cornstarch has dissolved. Add to the crock pot and mix well.
* Turn off the pot and leave uncovered until sauce has thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir and enjoy!
