pork loin with cranberries and orange, crock pot
(2 ratings)
when choosing the pork loin, choose the blade end. Be sure to choose a fatter shorter loin over the longer skinnier ones. Look for 4 1/2 to 5 pound pork loin roast that is wide and short and steer clear from those that are long and narrow. Narrow pork loins don't fit as easily into a slow cooker and are prone to overcook and because they cook through more quickly. Serves six recipe and pic from America's test kitchen.
