- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces

- Cover and cook on HIGH while you prepare the sweet potatoes.
- Add the potatoes and stir to combine.
- Cover and turn the slow cooker to LOW.
- Cook on LOW, until the sweet potatoes are very soft, 4 to 6 hours.
