Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork Roast Recipe

Turkey was the star of the show last month! This month make healthy and easy lean meat. Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork Roast is going to be perfect on your Holiday Table this December!

I don’t know about you, but I am coming to a close on just how much time I have spent in the kitchen over the stove this Holiday Season. I am all about the Slow Cooker right now. Drop in and walk away! That leaves you free to bake and cook everything else or just to sit down and enjoy your family. Just think how nice it would be to know that while the kids are opening presents dinner is cooking away! Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork Roast is the perfect set and let cook away.

This pork has great flavor and you can even mix up the herbs that you prefer. I used a lot of garlic and rosemary. Two of my favorite flavor profiles. I cut up a few apples and placed them at the bottom of the Slow Cooker, using them as a platform for the meat.

This is for two reasons. It keeps the meat elevated and can cook evenly. It also allows the fat to drip off so the meat doesn’t sit in it. That fat makes a great gravy!

The roast is cooked with canned cranberry sauce on top. Then once cooked and ready to serve spread my recipe for Holiday Cranberry Sauce on top. This keeps the roast warm and the juices in. Nobody wants a dried-out roast!

I also love the cranberries as the tang pairs perfectly with the pork and the rosemary and garlic.

You can just see how tender and moist the meat is. You won’t really have to worry about leftovers, as I am sure that there won’t be much left. I can tell you, we sure didn’t have any leftovers.

Always sear your meat before placing it in the Slow Cooker. This helps lock in the moisture and sets the seasonings.
