28 Reviews of Cranberry Pork In the Pot

by Lorac

From: Pat K.

On Aug 8, 2003

My husband LOVES por roast, I'm not a big fan, so unfortunately I don't cook it all that much. He is not a fan of cranberry sauce, but I am, so I tried this recipe. It was fabulous. I followed it exactly. He thought he was in heaven. Even the kids liked it. We had a little bit left over. So a couple of days later, cut it into bite size pieces and heated in the sauce on the stove. He still liked it. Will definately make this often. Thanks!

    This recipe was so easy yet such a keeper. I crockpot five times a week and this was so easy to throw together in the morning. I served it with a side salad and garden rice. I thickened the liquid with flour and water to serve over pork. Wow!!!

    Wonderful flavor. I love cranberries and pork. I used boneless country style spareribs and cut the time to 3 hours in the crockpot. Succulent & moist. Great combination of onion, cumin, mustard & cranberry. Definately a keeper

    thank you - this dish was soooo easy and tasted wonderful. I did have a question about the sodium content. Packs of onion soup mix are extreamly high in sodium and this did not seem consistant with the nutrition facts for the recipe. I used a low sodium onion soup mix pack and infused the pork with a little gin to make up for the lost salt (alcohol helps break down the proteins and keeps the meat moist). It worked and we had a wonderful meal.

    Love this. Everyone will eat it, which makes it a keeper. I only use a half pack of soup mix and serve it with brown rice.

    This is a terrific recipe. You don't notice the cranberry taste. The sauce is great. Served it once over rice and then again over mashed potatoes. Everyone loved both. QFC is offerring buy one, get two three on country style ribs, so this makes this recipe very inexpensive.

    Terrific roast; leftovers are great, too! I misread ingredients and only used one 3 lb pork loin. I also used whole cranberry sauce and less than half of onion soup packet. We couldn't have been happier with dinner. It was the moistest, tastiest, and easiest pork roast I ever made.

    It seems I like anything made with cranberry sauce!! This was so easy and good. The leftovers made a terrific hot pork sandwich with this wonderful sauce. Thanks Lorac.

    fantastic! The best pork loin I have made in a long time...I put the musterd right in with the cranberry sauce (accidently) and it still was superb.....

    This is awesome. I used a 4.5 lbs roast. I used the single packet of soup mix, and 1 1/2 cans of cranberry, and cooked on low for 8 hours. Took the roast out to rest, turned the pot to high and stirred in the mustard and a bit of flour to thicken it up. The sauce is TDF good and the pork was so very tender. A perfect meal with garlic potatoes and corn. Thanks Lorac!
