Easy Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork Roast

This delicious Cranberry Pork Roast is so moist and colorful, and easy too! Just put the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it do all the work.

Be sure to grab and extra bag or two of cranberries to toss in your freezer when they are in the store so you can make fabulous recipes like this any time.

Blatant affiliate link and product pitch coming up! I never have dried out slow cooker roasts since I got this slow cooker with a temperature probe. I just stick the probe in the thickest part of the roast and program the cooker to stop when it gets to the correct internal temperature.

If your slow cooker doesn't have one, use a meat thermometer and start checking about hour 5. Every slow cooker cooks slightly differently plus the size and shape of the pork roast can vary.

Since cranberries are usually sold in 12-16 ounce bags you should have some left over to make a quick cranberry sauce for serving.
