Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the boneless rolled pork loin into the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the jellied cranberry sauce with a fork until smooth.
  3. Stir in the sugar, cranberry juice, dry mustard, and cloves until well combined.
  4. Pour the cranberry mixture evenly over the pork roast.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  6. Remove the pork roast from the slow cooker and keep it warm.
  7. Skim any excess fat from the surface of the cooking juices.
  8. Measure 2 cups of the juices; add water if necessary to reach 2 cups, then transfer to a saucepan.
  9. Bring the juices to a boil over medium-high heat.
  10. In a small cup, mix the cornstarch and cold water to form a smooth paste.
  11. Stir the cornstarch paste into the boiling juices in the saucepan.
