I love to serve guests this moist flavorful pork. You don't have to slave away in the kitchen to prepare it, yet it tastes lika a gourmet meal.
1-3 pounds Boneless rolled pork loin roast
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. Pepper
1 16 oz. Can whole-berry cranberry sauce
1/4 c. Honey
1 tsp. Grated orange peel
1/8 tsp. Ground cloves
1/8 tsp. Ground nutmeg
Cut roast in half and place in a slow cooker; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine the remaining ingredients; pour over roast. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

As another suggested, I also added the zest and juice of a whole orange to sauce. Additionally, I created a finishing sauce with another can of whole cranberry sauce, 1 TBS brown sugar, 4 c of strained pork juice from crock-pot and about 2 TBS corn starch to thicken. I know this is a bit sugary and unhealthy, but it really added a nice touch to this excellent recipe. Served with Basmati rice and spinach salad.

A family favorite for years, with pilaf and steamed green beans. I usually "wash" part of the cranberry sauce away. making it less sweet, but leaving cranberries, which we like better than frozen ones. A friend's wife uses same ingredients and technique with beef brisket - he says it's best ever.

I wish in the nutrition information they would give the sugars content in grams. Noticed only carb which is sugar and other and I am especially watching my sugar intake
