Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork loin roast
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 cups cranberry sauce (whole berry preferred)
- 1 cups port wine
- 0.5 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Season the pork loin roast with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork roast for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
In a medium bowl, whisk together cranberry sauce, port wine, chicken broth, brown sugar, and chopped rosemary until well combined.
Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic to the bottom of a 6-quart Crock Pot. Place the seared pork roast on top.
Pour the cranberry-port mixture over the pork roast, ensuring the meat is mostly submerged.
Cover the Crock Pot with a lid and cook on low for 7 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the Crock Pot and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes.
To thicken the sauce, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the liquid in the Crock Pot and cook on high for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
Slice or shred the pork roast and serve it topped with the thickened cranberry-port sauce.
