* can use less, especially if broth is salty. Start early (at least 4 hours). Combine all ingredients in a crock pot or large kettle in the order listed. If using a crock pot, set on high power for about three hours, and then turn down to low for the remainder of cooking time. Stir occassionally (every hour or so). If using a kettle, boil everything for about fifteen minutes, and then simmer (lightly) the rest of the time.

It has a uniquely sweet flavor underlying the taste. It makes a large amount so you will have plenty to freeze and serve for another 1-2
