Easy Crock Pot Pork Roast With Cranberries

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

Very, very good!! I thought I had cranberries, but they were dried cherries~and they were great anyways! ;) We will have this again soon--so perfect for Autumn.

We all LOVED this!! It was so easy to make, too! We were tired of the same old roast and this really brought new flavors to the dinner table. I will certainly make this again and again!

Really good! I would add 2 onions but I love onions. I will double the sauce next time.

Oh, was this a winner! I added some apples and didn't have cranberry juice (which I didn't realize it had gotten used up until it was too late) so I used Berry Blast juice boxes...lol, it was what was in the house. But it turned out great and the whole family loved it! Making it again soon!

We LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this!!!! I added a few sliced garlic cloves but followed the rest as stated. Served this over wheat rotini with a side of "Sherry Cherry Tomatoes" from this site and it was unbelievable! Kitten does it again! The sweet, delicious flavor of this was unbelievable and the pork was so moist! I used pork tenderloin rather than a pork shoulder. PERFECT!
