I love this pork roast recipe so much because it is one of those recipes that you can let cook in the slow cooker while you are at work or running errands all day. And while we had this roast as a Sunday dinner with just the family this recipe is “fancy” enough that you could easily serve it for a dinner party. And because the flavors are very fall/winter like it would make a great addition to your holiday table too!
We served our roast with a side of browned butter mashed potatoes, glazed carrots and it was awesome! I urge you to give this recipe a try!

I have a question. What exactly is the ‘zest’ from the orange?
The “zest” is from the outside (rind) of the orange. Use a grater and just rub it along that rind and you will get that zest.
The roast pictured here looks more like it was cooked in an oven & roasted, not in a crock pot. Did you take the picture?
Hi Nancy, yes I did indeed take the photo and this was indeed cooked in the crock-pot!
Wow! Thanks…how’d you get it to have such a nice “crust” to it? It really looks delish & I love pork roast!
I have to agree with Nancy. My recipes cooked in the crock pot never come out looking like this. How do you do it??
On this particular recipe I was using a tied pork roast (it came tied in string) so when it came time to take the photo I had to remove the cranberry mixture, untie it from the string, and then place the cranberry mixture back on top so it might be giving a “crust” look in the photo. But really there was not a crust on the roast, but more I think that is the darkness of the cranberries that is making it look like that in the photo. I promise, no photography tricks here.
can you do this with a bone in pork roast
You sure can Linda. I just happened to have a boneless pork roast on hand because that was what was on sale.
What are good sides with this?
Hi Kaylee, I would think some mashed potatoes and maybe some steamed veggies would make excellent sides for this roast. Or sweet potatoes…I do love a good sweet potato!
How much orange juice did you use? I don’t have an orange, but i do have juice on hand.
It is the juice from an orange…probably about 1/2 cup or so if I had to guess.
I added a golden delicious apple & raisins. Served over egg noodles. What is this deliciousness? Absolutely đŸ˜‹. Tastes like Autumn kissed by a little bit of sunshine. A new comfort food favorite. Thank you Crock Pot Ladies for another recipe I love & will enjoy over & over
I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe Jennifer. Adding apple and raisins sounds AMAZING! Thanks for your kind review!
