Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork Roast Recipe

Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork Roast Recipe -set it and forget it!

Cooking a roast in the summer, like this Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork Roast, could make for an unbearably hot kitchen.  But cooking the pork roast in your slow cooker allows you to keep your kitchen temp reasonable, have a nice main dish ready and you don't have to babysit it.  It's cooking while you're out there living your busy life and is already when you and the family are for your evening meal.  I love grilling in the summer but using my slow cooker allows me to change things up and give the barbecue a rest.

My Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork Roast is easy to prepare and is served with a tasty, tangy sauce that tastes great on the meat and sides like mashed potatoes.  It's a big hit here at the Thompson house so give it a try and bathe in the admiration as your family raves about this year round favorite.

Slow cooking guarantees that this pork loin roast will come out juicy, tender and tasty. The sauce made from the drippings left in the slow cooker will be a huge hit!
