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! This recipe has wonderful reviews and it’s so simple to make.
Crock Pot Cranberry Pork Ingredients Needed:
Pork Loin Roast or tenderloin
Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce
Dry onion soup mix
Butter, melted
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. The gravy is wonderful over mashed potatoes so that is a great side for this meat.

Fran, thank you SOO much for the kind words! This absolutely means so much to us and we are so thrilled you are enjoying the recipes!
This was delicious! I used tenderloin and didn’t use the extra can of cranberries, only because my family didn’t feel it necessary. Forget turkey, this will be our Thanksgiving tradition.
P.S. I loved it so much I just bought another tenderloin and plan on making it again
YAY!! I am so thrilled to hear this.. we love this one too! We made it recently with a turkey breast and it was delicious as well.
So easy and so delicious! One of the best recipes I ever cooked in my crock pot!
I love this website. I have made so many of these dishes for family and church potluck dinners and everyone loved them. I saw a recipe for banana bread that I wanted to try and now I cannot find it. Where could I find it again.
Use the search box on our website to search banana bread. We have probably 20 banana bread recipes. Thank you for the kind words!
Wondering if this needs to be shredded or can it be sliced?
You can do it whichever way you prefer, we like to shred it.
Do you use the same amount of cranberry sauce and dry onion soup mix for a bigger roast? Or do you scale it? I have a 9 lb pork shoulder
I would at least double it, since it’s such a bigger roast. You may need to triple it, honestly you can’t go wrong with more, since you will be using it for gravy if you make mashed potatoes.
This was delicious! I was skeptical as it had so few ingredients, but this is on my favorites list now. My husband also thought it was great. Definitely a keeper!
So glad you gave it a try! We love this one too!
This looks delicious.
Years ago my sister-in- law cooked a pork roast with a Cherry /Cranberry glaze, and I have never been able to duplicate it and Judy does not remember it. Do you have any idea of a recipe similar to this?
I just added all ingredients for the pork loin roast, for this weekend, making dressing with the drippings.
Have a wonderful weekend, God bless.
We have an apricot cranberry glaze on the site, you may be able to use cherry in the place of apricot and make it work. There is also a cherry glaze on the site, you could add cranberries too.
This is a new favorite in my house. I love leftovers as I’m retired and don’t want to be chained to a stove every day. This recipe really fills the bill! I serve it with mashed potatoes and a vegetable and then the leftovers are heated and served on a soft roll as a sandwich! Great recipe, ladies and I thank you very much!!!
Yay!! We’re thrilled it’s a hit for you. Thank you for the kind comment!
This is amazing ! Made it today with pork butt , followed recipe as stated , 7 hours in crockpot and melted in our mouths !
YAY!! We are thrilled you loved it! It’s one of our favorites too!
Can a pork butt roast be used instead ?
I think that would work fine.
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, but you can easily use a pork 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..
