This recipe is great just as given . I have tweaked a little. Set aside pineapple juice. After pork bakes remove from oven to rest . While pork is resting prepare cornstarch with the pineapple juice to thicken with the pineapple and cranberry in the pan. This just makes a little more "sauce" for the pork

Wonderful roast, fruit and pork go so well together! I had a 2 lb roast and modified by cooking on low for 5 hours in the crockpot. I halved the seasonings and omitted the onion, but kept the cranberry and pineapple at the full amounts. Thanks for sharing Ms Sally! Made for Holiday tag.

I used 2 pork tenderloin. It cooked for 1 hour. I used Mrs Dash seasoning, reduced the quantity for pepper. I was sure I got a can of whole berry cranberry sauce. But no! :( It was a can of cranberry jelly. I tried it this way. It's good. And I forgot the onion. Today wasn't my day lol Thanks MsSally :) Made for Holiday tag.
