Our new favorite pork recipe! I used what I had on hand and it turned out great, substituting a half bag of fresh cranberries for the sauce, a splash of lemon juice for the lemons, red wine for the port, and a few shakes of ground ginger for the candied ginger. What an easy, delicious, healthy recipe... thank you!

Wonderful dish! Made it for the first time for a Christmass party in 2011 and it was a big hit. Has become a regular in my recipe book. Due to being out of candied ginger and straight cranberry juice, we discovered regular ginger works fine (I think we used a paste) and cran-grape juice works well too.

What an easy delicious recipe. Your instructions are so clear and step by step. I had a 4.5 pound roast so I cooked it on low for 8 hours - the result was a moist, very tender delicious roast. It will serve several meals that will not look like leftoveers. I thickened all the sauce and will use some on an omelet. I used a jar of Cranberry/port jelly and added some dried cranberries. Because there was the port flavor in the jelly I used cranberry juice - It all worked well together

Wow, this is oh! so good! What a great sauce too. I used a partial can of cranberry sauce, perhaps 2/3 of a can, no sugar, lemon juice in place of lemon slices, and the port wine. I enjoy the candied ginger in this dish. This is an elegant dish indeed, worthy of a holiday or celebratory dinner. Thanks for posting, Tish.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
