Add all ingredients to the bowl of a slow cooker and stir to combine.

Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 7-8 hours, or until the cranberries have popped open and the sauce is bubbly.

Taste and stir in any extra sweetener or add-ins if desired. Serve warm. (Heads up that the sauce will thicken considerably as it cools.)

Use fresh cranberries as they are a must for the recipe.

You can adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more or less sweetener.

Feel free to mash the cranberries to your desired consistency.
