FRESH CRANBERRY SLOW COOKER PORK ROAST
I've seen many recipes using canned cranberry sauce, but I much prefer fresh ingredients. I like to leave the fat on the roast while cooking, but then reduce the fat content of the gravy by chilling the cooked roast overnight. Once chilled, I remove the congealed fat that has all floated to the top before straining the juices to make my gravy. My husband says this is the best pork roast ever! Very tender and tasty with a slightly sweet sauce.
