Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork loin roast
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon 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 loin on all sides until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side. Remove the pork and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, and fresh rosemary to create the glaze.
Place the seared pork roast into the crock pot. Spread the Dijon mustard glaze evenly over the pork.
Sprinkle dried cranberries over and around the pork.
Pour the chicken broth into the crock pot around the pork (do not pour it directly on top of the glaze).
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or until the pork is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the pork from the crock pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
To make a gravy, strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl to form a slurry, then whisk it into the cooking liquid. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
Serve the pork roast sliced, topped with the cranberry gravy. Enjoy!
