Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork Roast

This is a slow cooker recipe that my sweet mother-in-law gave to us and is absolutely wonderful!

Ingredients

• 1 (1 1/2-pound) boneless pork loin roast
• 1 (16 ounce) can jellied cranberry sauce
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup cranberry juice
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps

1. Place pork roast in a slow cooker. Mash cranberry sauce in a bowl; stir in sugar, cranberry juice, mustard, cloves, and salt. Pour cranberry mixture over pork roast.
2. Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours. Transfer roast to a plate; cover and keep warm.
3. Skim fat from cranberry mixture in slow cooker. Measure 2 cups of cranberry mixture, adding water if necessary. Pour into saucepan and bring to a boil. Whisk cold water with cornstarch until pasty; pour into cranberry mixture. Cook and stir until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve alongside pork.
