Method

  1. In a bowl, mash the cranberry sauce and then mix in cranberry juice, sugar, mustard, cloves, and salt.

  2. Place the pork roast in a slow cooker and pour the cranberry mixture over it. Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours.

  3. Transfer the cooked roast to a plate, cover it, and keep it warm.

  4. Remove any fat from the cranberry sauce in the slow cooker. Transfer the sauce to a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, adding water if necessary to reach the 2-cup mark. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and bring it to a boil.

  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cold water and cornstarch to make a paste. Add this paste to the cranberry sauce in the saucepan. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens, which should take around 5 to 10 minutes.

  6. Slice the pork and serve it with the cranberry sauce.
