Saucy Pork Chops With Cranberries for the Crock Pot! image

I found this in a cookbook I took out from the library (title forgotten). This sounds delicious! You can also substitute a boneless pork shoulder butt roast (3 lbs) for the pork chops. Brown the roast on all sides and then proceed as directed. Haven't tried yet.
