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.

Ingredients

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

Preparation

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.

I've made a slightly different version of this before, instead of cranberry sauce which is full of sugars I use frozen cranberries . Cranberries, orange and pork go wonderfully together! A definite hit at our house!

The pork roast was tender and the hint of orange was delicious!
