How to Make Apple Cranberry Pork Roast
- Pat the pork roast dry with paper towels. Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the browned roast to your slow cooker.
- Peel and chop 2 large apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji) and add them to the slow cooker along with 1 (12 ounce) bag of fresh cranberries, 1 cup of chicken broth, 1/2 cup of apple cider, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C). Let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
