Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork Roast

I was craving cranberries. So I pulled out this recipe I had for a little while and made it for dinner tonight.

I rely on a can of cranberry sauce to create the sweet tangy sauce for this tender pork entree. This is nicely seasoned as it simmers by using cranberry and/or orange juice, ground cloves and ground mustard.

My suggestion if you use orange juice, reduce the sugar amount to 1/8 cup. Another idea is to replace the clove with 3/4 teaspoon dried crushed sage.
