NERDMOM'S DRESSED UP GLAZED LI'L SMOKIES OR MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Combine sauce ingredients and heat in sauce pan.
• Heat until cranberry sauce has dissolved and all ingredients are well combined.
• If you are serving from a crockpot (to keep them warm), pour sauce over smokies or pre-cooked meatballs in the crockpot, otherwise, just add the smokies or meatballs to the pan.
• It is best to let these cook at a low temperature for 30-60 minutes.
• If you are keeping them in a crockpot, DO NOT put the lid on. These will end up with way too much watered down sauce.
• Serve hot.
