Step 1

Place all of the ingredients in a 6-quart or larger slow cooker and stir together. Cover. For a looser cranberry sauce, cook for 3 to 3 1/2 hours on the HIGH setting or 7 hours on the LOW setting. For thicker cranberry sauce, cook on the HIGH setting 4 to 5 hours or the LOW setting 8 to 9 hours. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 2

Stir the sauce again. Serve warm or cool and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
