If you have a jumbo size crock pot, you can use it set on "low" for this recipe. Just set it up about 4 hours before your guests arrive. If you don't, use a large stock pot on the lowest setting on your stove. DO NOT LET THIS BOIL. This is very important, as it turns out that if you boil cinnamon it will make you pay. (Google it if you need more information, or you can just trust me.)
