How to Make Oven Barbecued Cranberry Pork Roast
- Wash and sort 12 ounces of fresh cranberries.
- Drain the cranberries well.
- In a large saucepan, combine 12 ounces of cranberries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce, and 1/4 cup orange juice. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the cranberry mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes without stirring.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Place a 3-4 pound pork roast, fat side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
- Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, ensuring it does not touch bone or fat.
- Bake for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or until the meat thermometer registers 160°F (71°C).
- During the last 30 minutes of baking, baste the roast frequently with the cranberry mixture.
- Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender roast.
- Slice the roast and serve generously with the remaining cranberry sauce. Enjoy!
