Instructions |

|
Use a 2- quart crockpot. If you only have a
huge crockpot, you can put an oven-safe dish
into it to create a smaller cooking vessel,
like a pyrex or Corningware. This is what I use
in the crock.
Rinse off the cranberries and put them into
your crockpot. Add the orange juice and water.
I had the kids squeeze fresh juice, but you can
use store-bought if that's what you have on
hand.

Add the sugar and the cinnamon. Stir. There
will be an awful lot of liquid, and the
cranberries will float and you'll wonder how on
earth it could possibly turn into cranberry
sauce.
Cover and cook on high. It will take about 3
hours.

|
|
Stir every hour or so. When the skin from the
cranberries has softened, the cranberries will
pop when pushed with a spoon up against the
side of the crock. It wasn't until about 2
hours in that my cranberries were soft enough
to do this.
Smoosh all of the cranberries. Stir well
|
|
|
Heat enough for it to be warm throughout. Take
the lid off and heat on high for another 30 to
45 minutes. Your house will smell wonderful!
Serve. This easily can be made a few days
before your holiday dinner.
