Homemade cranberry sauce is one of the easiest recipes you can make this holiday season.  All you need is a slow cooker, about four hours notice, and a few simple {and fresh!} ingredients.

I was looking for a way to liven this fall favorite and adding rhubarb and Chinese five spice did just that. Although still very tart, rhubarb is a little less tart than cranberry allowing for a recipe that calls for less sugar.  And Chinese five spice {cinnamon, cloves, star anise, fennel, and pepper} pulls all of the flavors together, like a bow on a present.
