Tips for Preparing This Easy Holiday Slow Cooker Recipe

  • Do not overcook this. If cooked too long, the meat will “pull” rather than slice. Which tastes equally as good, but won’t look as pretty!
  • You can substitute the maple syrup for white granulated sugar if desired.
  • You do not need to reserve the cranberry sauce as topping but it makes a beautiful elegant presentation!
  • Letting the pork rest after cooking seals in the juices, making it extra tasty!
  • This goes wonderfully with mashed potatoes and green beans.
