Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork

A slow cooker meal where pork roasts or chops are cooked with cranberry sauce, onions, and seasonings. The result is tender meat in a sweet-tart sauce with minimal effort.

Ingredients

1 (3 pound) boneless rolled pork loin roast, halved
2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup cranberry juice
1 teaspoon ground mustard 1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water salt to taste

Directions

In a Dutch oven, brown roast in oil on all sides over medium-high heat. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Combine the cranberry sauce, sugar, cranberry juice, mustard, pepper and cloves; pour over roast. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F. Remove roast and keep warm.
In a saucepan, combine cornstarch, water and salt until smooth; stir in cooking juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with roast.
