Crockpot Cranberry Pork Loin

This recipe is delicious during the Fall and Winter, holidays, or any time you love eating cranberry sauce. The photo doesn’t do it justice. I put a little pic in the box up there so you can see how it looks before cooking.

Cranberry Pork Roast

Ingredients:
3 lb. pork loin roast
salt and pepper to taste
1 15-16oz. can whole berry cranberry sauce
1/4-1/2 cup honey or brown sugar
1/4 cup cranberry juice
2 Tbsp. orange or Lemon juice
1 tsp. dry ground mustard
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. cloves

Directions:
Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of pork loin then put into sprayed crockpot.  Add the rest of the ingredients to meat. You could also just mix cranberry sauce, sugar, juices, and spices together in a medium bowl then pour over pork.  Cover and cook on LOW up to 8 hours or high 4-5 hours. To serve just carefully remove roast to a plate or cutting board. Let rest for 5 minutes then slice and spoon the gravy over meat. See note about thickening gravy below. This tastes great with stuffing, over rice, or with mashed potatoes.

Note—To thicken gravy: Thirty minutes before meat is done remove roast then take out some of the juice from slow cooker. Combine the 2 Tbsp. cornstarch and cold water and mix together until smooth.  Stir this into juice mixture from roast and pour back into crockpot to get warm.

Cranberry Sauce

This time of year I love having a few cans of cranberry sauce on hand to use in several ways. You can just open a can and pour into a dish to slice and eat along with your holiday meal. It is also good for making a sauce for cocktail lil’ smokies or meatballs. I have also made cranberry chicken or cranberry pork roast in my crock pot.

Some years ago I started making my own cranberry sauce from fresh cranberries when I saw how easy it is to make. I prefer the taste of it over the canned version so now I take the time to make the homemade version every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Here is how I make it:

Crockpot Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients:
1 12oz. bag of fresh cranberries
1 cup of sugar (I like using 1/2 c. white and 1/2 c. brown sugar)
1 cup water or orange juice (I like doing 1/2 c. orange with 1/2 cup cranberry, apple, or Cranapple juice)

Directions:
Spray a small crockpot (under 5 quarts) with cooking spray.  Put clean cranberries in crockpot.  Pour the sugar and juice of choice on top.  Cover and cook on High for 1 hour. Stir and continue cooking another hour. Stir every 15 minutes as the cranberries will soften and pop. Once it is the consistency you want turn off and cool down. Pour into a container and refrigerate over night for the flavors to blend.

Note: This tastes even better made a day or so in advance so that the flavors will have time to sit and blend together. I do a mixture of white and brown sugar to give it an extra flavor boost. Using juice instead of water enhances the flavor as well.

Christ the Solid Rock

I love hearing and singing hymns in worship to God our heavenly Father. My soul is always so comforted and refreshed. Our church sang this beloved old hymn during worship that I typed a portion of below.

“My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
  All other ground is sinking sand.”

Rejoice and be glad!

Psalms 96:11-13

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
Let the sea roar, and all its fullness;
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice
13 before the LORD.
For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth.
He shall judge the world with righteousness,
And the peoples with His truth.
