Sorry, but I have to say that this is one of the worst recipes I have ever made! I had to make a different sauce and marinate the cooked pork over night to change the taste. Husband went out and bought a pizza for our dinner. I consider myself a very good cook and just wanted to try something different.

Awesome dinner; it was a huge hit with everyone. The kids said "keeper recipe, Mom!"<br/>Prepared exactly as posted and it was perfect. I would not change a thing. Thank you for posting.

Made this for a pot-luck at work, everyone liked it. The people nearby who weren't part of the pot-luck were most unhappy - great smell all day but they didn't get to come eat with us. Oops, told them next time I'll make more and keep some back for them.<br/>Thanks Sage!!

What a great recipe Sage. We enjoyed this pork roast very much. My dh already called dibs on the last of the meat for his lunch tomorrow. The meat was amazing, moist, tender, fell apart easily was citrusy and sweet with a tang from the cranberries a lovey taste treat. I didn't thicken the sauce, we found it perfect, very flavorful and light. What a great comfort food, thank you so much for sharing.

Made this for supper tonight and everyone thought it was very good. I too thickened the sauce up in the crockpot and it was fantastic.
