Cooking Time – 8 hours in slow cooker
Ingredients
- 1 large pork tenderloin, cut in half (about 2.5 lbs.) ($4.22)
- Salt and pepper
- 2 15 oz. cans whole cranberry sauce ($1.98)
- 3 medium apples, cored and diced ($1.25)
- 1 cup orange juice ($.50)
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger ($.05)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ($.05)
- Side suggestion: Bread or rice
Directions
- Place half of the pork loin in the base of the slow cooker and the other half in a labeled plastic freezer baggie. Sprinkle both with salt and pepper.
- In mixing bowl, stir together the cranberry sauce, diced apples, orange juice and spices. Pour half over the pork in the slow cooker and the other half into the freezer baggie.
- Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 8 hours. Serve with side of bread or rice.
