Slow Cooked Pork Roast with Cranberries

The surprising addition of cranberries adds a sweet-tart flavor and increases the antioxidant value of this savory pork dish. You can also roast this in a conventional oven or electric roaster. Follow suggested roasting times on package.

  • 1 cup Trader Joe's fresh cranberry-orange relish or 1 can of cranberry sauce
  • 1/2 cup quartered dried apricots
  • zest from one large orange
  • 1 large shallot, chopped (1/3 cup)
  • 2 tsp cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 2 lb boneless pork loin roast, well trimmed

1. Mix cranberry sauce, apricots, orange peel , shallot, vinegar, mustard, salt, and ginger in 4-quart or larger slow cooker. The Smart Pot that I discuss on the DVD works really well for this one. Add pork and spoon some of cranberry mixture on top.

2. Cover and cook on low 7 to 9 hours or until pork is tender.

3. Remove pork to cutting board. Spoon off any fat from top of cranberry mixture in slow cooker. Slice pork into 6 thick slices. Serve topped with sauce.

Makes 6 servings.
