Fruited Pork Roast
Fall flavors, perfect for any dinner, special occasion, or guests!
Ingredients
- 1 pork roast at least 3 pounds
- 2-3 tbsp lemon juice or juice of a fresh lemon
- 1 apple chopped, diced, or sliced... your choice
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup raisins no added sugar
- ½ cup apple juice
- ½ tsp ground mustard
- ¼ tsp. ground ginger
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. pepper
Instructions
-
Mix the lemon juice, cranberries, raisins, apple juice, and mustard, and sit it aside.
-
Cut the roast in half and rub the salt, pepper, and ginger into into the 2 halves.
-
Place the roast halves into the crockpot and pour the mixture on top. Allowing the roast to just sit a minute to “marinate”, cut up the apple.
-
Place the apple around the roast and cover. Cook on low for 5-6 hours.
-
Check temperature and when done, transfer to a serving plate and allow to rest for about 15 minutes. Slice and serve with serve with some fruit and juices.
Recipe Notes
- I’ve made this a few times and you can do all cranberries or all raisins if you prefer. It will be a little different but not in a bad way.
- Raisins can have a lot of added sugar, try to get a brand that has no added sugar.
- For those that like to rub actual mustard on pork prior to cooking it, feel free, just omit the ground mustard.
- You could add more apple, I have added up to 3. This just gives more fruit with the meat and doesn’t change cooking or flavor.
- Cooking for a regular dinner, this would pair well with rice!
