Ingredients
  

Pork Roast

  • 14 oz can whole berry cranberries
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 2 lbs pork roast

Mashed Potatoes

  • 8 Klondike Gold potatoes
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp salt

Gravy

  • cooking juices from pork roast
  • 3 tbsp flour

Sides

  • applesauce
  • 2 lbs large carrots
  • 3 crowns broccoli

Instructions
 

  • To make the pork roast, combine the can of cranberries, honey, orange juice, and allspice in a bowl and whisk together. Pour mixture into the crockpot. Salt and pepper the roast on either side and add it to the crockpot. Cook for 5 hours on high.
  • To make the mashed potatoes, set a large pot of water on high heat and bring to a boil. In the meantime, peel and quarter the potatoes. Boil potatoes for about 20 minutes or until fork tender. Drain the potatoes and add to a bowl with butter, milk, and salt. Mix with hand mixer just until fluffy - don't overmix.
  • To make the gravy, strain the juices from the pork roast. Reserve 1/2 cup of the liquid off to the side and add the rest to a large pan on medium high heat. Whisk 3 tbsp of flour into the reserved liquid to make a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the gravy while whisking to mix well. Heat and continue to stir until gravy thickens.
  • To make the vegetables, you can either bake them in the oven at 400 degrees until fork tender or steam them in a steamer basket on the stove. Either way, peel the carrots and cut them in half lengthwise and then into thirds. Rinse and chop the broccoli crowns into bite-sized pieces. Cook according to desired method.
  • Serve the pork roast with a little gravy on top, applesauce on the side, mashed potatoes, carrots, and broccoli - enjoy!
