2 cups sugar
1 cup Apple Cider or Juice
2 tsp cinnamon

At the end of the cooking time, take the lid off and turn the Crock Pot on high and cook for another 4 hours, stirring from time to time and let some of the liquid cook off. Pour into hot, clean jars, adjust the lids and hot water bath the jars for 10-15 minutes for pints and 5-10 minutes for half-pints.
