Our new favorite pork recipe! I used what I had on hand and it turned out great, substituting a half bag of fresh cranberries for the sauce, a splash of lemon juice for the lemons, red wine for the port, and a few shakes of ground ginger for the candied ginger. What an easy, delicious, healthy recipe... thank you!

Wonderful dish! Made it for the first time for a Christmass party in 2011 and it was a big hit. Has become a regular in my recipe book. Due to being out of candied ginger and straight cranberry juice, we discovered regular ginger works fine (I think we used a paste) and cran-grape juice works well too.

This has become one of my most favorite crock-pot recipes! I've served it to friends and family and everyone loves it! The only thing different I do is to serve it over noodles instead of rice. So easy and so delicious!

What an easy delicious recipe. Your instructions are so clear and step by step. I had a 4.5 pound roast so I cooked it on low for 8 hours - the result was a moist, very tender delicious roast. It will serve several meals that will not look like leftoveers. I thickened all the sauce and will use some on an omelet. I used a jar of Cranberry/port jelly and added some dried cranberries. Because there was the port flavor in the jelly I used cranberry juice - It all worked well together
