Crock Pot Cranberry Pork Loin

Crock Pot Cranberry Pork Loin ~ Savory Pork Loin slow cooked in a cranberry sauce!

Welcome to November. The month of turkey, stuffing and cranberries! I thought I’d kick the month off right with at least one of these things. I was a bit apprehensive, I won’t lie, I’m not a big fan of cranberries. Something about the fact they stay in the form of the can when  you open jellied cranberries. Mmmm ya that’s just weird, but I’m so glad I gave this recipe a chance.

I found this “keeper” in my copy of Gooseberry Patch’s Hometown Harvest Cookbook. Do you have any of the Gooseberry Patches Cookbooks? If not I need to take a moment and tell you to go get one stat.

This pork loin is slow cooked in a yummy cranberry sauce then you make an amazing gravy out of this and by the end of the day it’s so tender it just falls apart! I didn’t know what to think about the cranberries but they were perfect. The gravy has a hint of sweetness from the cranberries, but it’s not overpowering at all. Plus you hardly have to do anything with this recipe so it’s the perfect addition to your recipe box on those busy weeknights especially when the holidays roll around. I don’t know about you but it’s more crazy, if that’s possible, at my house around the holidays!
