notes
Slow Cooker Instructions: Add all ingredients to the insert. Cook on Low for 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Note you can also use the slow cooker setting for the Instant Pot (Normal or Low depending on the model you have).
Adding alcohol: If you want to make the entire batch boozy, add 1/2 cup rum and 1/2 cup bourbon. For individual servings, add up to 2 ounces of your favorite spirit. Again, I recommend rum or bourbon!
