Crockpot Meal - Cranberry Pork Roast

Now before you write this off as "sounds gross! I'd never eat that!" Give it a try. My SUPER picky family actually likes this one. I don't have a pic to include of it because I recently prepared this meal - as in BEFORE the inception and my inclusion on Lose It Bitches. Be sure to come back and leave a comment should you try it for your family. We'd love to know if you liked it and what sides you paired it with!

Cranberry Pork Roast


You’ll Need:
1 16oz can Wholeberry Cranberry Sauce

1 medium onion - chopped

1 5.5 oz can apricot nectar (I just drained the juice from a can of apricots…worked just fine. Save the apricots to pair with some lowfat cottage cheese for tmorrow's snack!)

½ cup of sugar**

½ cup of coarsely chopped dried apricots

2 tsp distilled white vinegar

1 tsp dried mustard

1 tsp salt

¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes

2 ½ pounds boneless pork loin roast - well trimmed

What to do:

Mix all the above ingredients.

Reserve a small amount to pour over pork.

Pour ingredients into crock pot

Add the pork roast

Pour reserved amount of sauce over pork

Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours


**Can substitute ½ cup of Splenda for ½ cup of sugar. Will slightly reduce carbs for meal.

I've made something similar with pork chops and it was good. I'm going to add this to my file.

Oh this is just too funny. I pulled out a tenderloin from the freezer this morning and hunted through my cookbooks for a recipe to use it in my crockpot. I actually picked out almost this exact same recipe. Now I know I picked a good one because you all have said it was good. :)

I've had a version of this dish, only instead of apricots it was made with orange marmalade. I thought at first I wouldn't like it, but it did turn out super yummy!! I even had to make it again another time it was so good.
