For a richer flavor, try using whole berry cranberry sauce instead of jellied. You may need to mash the berries slightly before mixing with the other ingredients. If you prefer a less sweet sauce, reduce the amount of sugar to 1/8 cup. The cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker. Check the internal temperature of the pork with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium. Leftover cranberry pork roast is delicious in sandwiches, salads, or as a topping for baked potatoes.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, mash the jellied cranberry sauce with a fork. Stir in the cranberry juice, sugar, dry mustard, ground cloves, and salt until well combined. (5 minutes)
02
StepPlace the pork loin roast in a slow cooker. Pour the cranberry mixture evenly over the roast, ensuring it's well coated. (2 minutes)
03
StepCover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork. (6-8 hours)
04
StepOnce the pork is cooked, transfer it to a cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm. (2 minutes)
05
StepSkim any excess fat from the cranberry sauce remaining in the slow cooker. Transfer the sauce to a liquid measuring cup. If necessary, add water to bring the total volume to 2 cups. (5 minutes)
06
StepPour the cranberry sauce into a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. (5 minutes)
07
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the cold water and cornstarch to create a slurry. (2 minutes)
08
StepSlowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the boiling cranberry sauce, stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, about 5 to 10 minutes. (5-10 minutes)
09
StepSlice the pork loin roast and serve immediately, drizzled generously with the thickened cranberry sauce.
