Another sauce to try I have made for a while now that everyone likes is 1 can of cranberry sauce and a small bottle of ketchup. Combine the two in a crockpot then add little smokies or meatballs which ever you like to simmer for couple hrs.

I have used this recipe for four years, and I love it. I do substitute some OJ and use regular cranberry sauce. I also like to make the sauce and pour over cocktail weiners and let it simmer in the crockpot. Everyone loves them!!! My favorite Betty Crocker recipe.
