Cranberry Dijon Pork Roast

We have enjoyed this slow-cooker roast several times recently and it is a pleasant treat. The cranberries add a nice zing. This recipe is adapted from "The Slow Cooker Bible"

½ cup apple sauce
¼ teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 boneless pork loin roast (2-3 lbs), lean
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp grated orange peel (optional)
½ cup to 1 cup dried cranberries

Pour apple sauce into slow cooker. Combine allspice, salt and pepper; sprinkle over roast. Place meat in slow cooker. Blend mustard, honey, and orange peel and spread over roast. Sprinkle with cranberries.

Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours until meat is tender.

Remove meat to serving platter. Slice meat and serve with remaining sauce. Makes about 6-8 servings.
