Make your life easier with this 4 ingredient crockpot cranberry pork – easy and delicious! The perfect dinner solution.
One of my goals for 2016 is more crockpot/slow cooker recipes here on the blog. They are always some of the most popular recipes on my blog and you can check them all out here. One that has been going crazy lately on Pinterest is this Slow Cooker Parmesan Honey Pork Roast. Have you tried it? It’s amazing and it’s been pinned over 174,000 times!!
Today I’ve got another good one for you and it’s super easy too. Last month I put together a punch of crockpot freezer meals for my parents. They’ve been having some health issues and to try to make their life easier and make sure they ate right I put some meals together for their freezer. All my mom had to do was pull it out of the freezer and put it into the crockpot. One of the ones they loved was today’s recipe for Cranberry Pork.
It is so easy to make. Not just because it cooks in the crockpot but there are only 4 ingredients. All you need is a pork shoulder or a pork butt, also called a Boston Butt, 2 cans of whole berry cranberry sauce, honey and some dried minced onion. That’s it.
It all goes into the crockpot except for one of the cans of cranberry sauce. Save one of them to top the pork with after it is cooked.
Cook it for 6-8 hours on low and you’ve got a delicious dinner. When the meat is nice and tender and shreds easily with a fork it is done. I then added some of the liquid that is left in the crockpot into the other can of cranberry sauce until it was a nice consistency to top the roast with. About 1/4 cup or so.
I served with some roasted potatoes and a green salad. Dinner is served!

In my opinion, the meat needed a little more seasoning. S&P and a few herbs
Thanks Leigh Anne
Had a frozen pork loin so I quickly defrosted it and into the slow cooker it went. I was lucky to have the other few items required
Hoping this will be a nice warm meal tonight
