CROCK POT CRANBERRY PORK
Crock Pot Cranberry Pork is so easy and the flavor is wonderful. The pork and the cranberry together is a fabulous match. This dish makes a wonderful gravy that is perfect over mashed potatoes. Plus, this recipe is only 4 ingredients!
Crock Pot Cranberry Pork
1 3lb Pork Loin Roast
2 14 ounce Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce
1 Packet of dry onion soup mix
1/4 Cup of butter, melted
Place your pork loin roast in the slow cooker and pour the melted butter over it. Mix the dry onion mix and one can of cranberry sauce together and pour over the meat. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or until the pork loin test done with your meat tester. Once done, shred your loin and let it sit in the gravy. Then I take the other can of cranberry sauce and mix with some of the gravy and spoon over the pork when served. The gravy is also wonderful over mashed potatoes.
This dish is also perfect for a small Thanksgiving holiday. Sometimes we don’t like to make turkey or need to make a large meal so this is a great substitute. The cranberry sauce goes so well with the pork and the leftovers are great for sandwiches. I actually like to make little sliders with the leftovers. Just take some Hawaiian King Rolls, some pork and the cranberry sauce and you have small sandwiches to serve for lunch.

I make this dish every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s so easy and my family raves about it. We just love it!
We love this recipe so much it’s on the menu this year..much tastier then turkey.
Can you cook it on high for a shorter amount of time? I’m putting it on later than I planned to!
Yes, you certainly could!
could you use dried cranberries ! not crisp dry ,but soft
I have never tried it, I wouldn’t think that would work, unless you added some kind of liquid.
I made this in my grandson absolutely loves it so I’m definitely going to make it again I was going to skeptical if it would be good or not with the onion soup mix but it’s surprisingly very good
I’ve been making this for years. We all love it. And, you can also shred up the leftovers and all a bit of barbecue sauce to the gravy. Makes terrific barbecue sandwiches…
What is the time frame for a 1.5 lb pork roast?
Will the cranberry pork loin work well with a pork tenderloin?
I think it would work okay.
Do you have to shred it? Why not just slice it. Will it not slice – does it fall apart? ? Thanks. Maxine
Thank you for this easy recipe! I followed the directions and it came out so good. My husband said it was one of his favorite dinners. I love your site. Thanks for all you do!
I’m not sure how this could be dry, it has an entire can of cranberry sauce and a 1/4 cup of butter. It’s never been dry when I have made it, it makes a gravy while it’s cooking. Enjoy!
I tried with poorly tenderloin and hubby raved and raved about it! Thanks so much for your recipes from a Kentucky gal living in Pennsylvania !!!
Thank you so much! We’re so thrilled you enjoyed it. It is one of our favorites.
Could you save time and slice the pork loin before cooking it?
I think you could do that Julie.
Hi, I just put everything in my slow cooker and realized I didn’t pay close attention. I used a pork tenderloin! Has anyone tried that yet? Thanks
Hi Kimberly,
It should be fine with a pork tenderloin. Let us know how it turns out!
Oh yeah! It’s great on pork tenderloin.
Why not a pork shoulder? Isn’t that cut easier to shred? I’ve never shredded a pork loin. Can you just slice it up after cooking?
Hi Karen,
I’m sure you can use a pork shoulder but a pork loin roast shreds fine.
I’ve made this recipe before and it is so DELICIOUS! I think next time I’m going to use two cans of whole cranberry sauce to give it a more cranberries flavor and maybe use sliced onions on the bottom of the crock pot, if you haven’t tried this roast you’re missing out, it’s a must try, you won’t be disappointed….
Oh my goodness this the best roast I made it for my grandson and he absolutely loved it so I’m making it again but this time I made my own onion dry soup mix, I’m going to have mashed potatoes with it I hope he likes it
Is this a pork tenderloin?
Hi Sharon,
I used a boneless Pork Loin roast, not a tenderloin.
Can you make this in an instant pot?
I’m sure you could, but we don’t own one so I have no idea how 🙂
Looks so yummy!! Think I will try it Thk u for shring.
You’re so welcome! I hope you enjoy it 🙂
I’ve been trying to find this recipe cuz I made it before and it’s so DELICIOUS can I add two cans of whole cranberry sauce to this & maybe orange juice to give it a more cranberry flavor I’m curious if a spiral cut ham would work in this recipe that would be great for Thanksgiving or Christmas..
