Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork Loin is a delicious slow cooker pork recipe that’s perfect for Sunday dinner.
What I love about this recipe is that you can put the pork loin in the slow cooker on low and top it off with the cranberry glaze and then let the slow cooker make a fantastic meal. Plus, you can adjust the amount of pork loin needed based on the size of your family or if you want leftovers.
Ingredient Notes
- Boneless pork loin or tenderloin
- Whole cranberry sauce
- Worcestershire sauce
- Brown sugar
- Yellow mustard
How To Make Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork Loin
- When you are ready to prepare your pork loin, get out your slow cooker and prepare it by spraying it down with nonstick cooking spray.
- Then, place the pork loin into the prepared slow cooker.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the whole cranberry sauce, worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and yellow mustard.
- Mix the sauce together with a spoon until it is well combined. Then pour the sauce over top of the pork loin.
- Turn the slow cooker on high for 4-5 hours or low 6-8 hours until the pork loin is cooked all the way through.
- When it is done, remove the loin from the slow cooker and place it on a serving plate to slice it and serve it with your favorite sides.
Storing and Other Tips
This roast can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
The size of the pork is important to note. Small pork loins will cook fast, while bigger pork loins will take a while longer.
A general rule of thumb is, to cook the roast for 2 hours per pound on LOW heat. 1 hour per pound on HIGH heat. You might have to adjust the time for high heat, depending on how your slow cooker cooks).
When you are ready to eat, make sure your pork loin has an internal temperature of 145 degrees.

Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.
I notice that you only list a cooking time with the crock pot set on high. Could this be safely cooked on low and if so how long would it cook for? I’d love to do this on a work day but the 4-5 hrs. listed just isn’t enough time.
LOVE your site~thanks so much!
Hi Sue!
You could cook it on low for 6-8 hours!
Thanks SO much!!
You gals are the best. I had no idea what to cook for dinner, and I had all the ingredients for this recipe! THANKS!!!
Oh my gosh, YUM! I definitely know whats going on my grocery list for next week! Can the pork loin be frozen or does it need to be thawed out?
FYI this was so good! I used a frozen roast (it was smaller – only about 1 lb) and it still cooked in 4 hours on high.
Hi Jessica!
I think it would work fine if your pork was frozen. Just check that it is cooked thoroughly before serving! 🙂
How many people does a three pound tenderloin serve?
I would say 3 to 6 depending on your serving sizes. 🙂
this was really good. At the grocery store, I got a package with 2 pork tenderloins and I made one to give to a friend with an ill husband….it was slightly less than 3lbs, but that was OK bc the cranberries come in 14oz can, not 16oz can. My husband liked it (although he prefers the traditional oven baked or grilled tenderloin) – this one came out so tender it was almost like pulled pork. I will definitely make this again!! It was cooked in about 6 hours on low.
Do I need to add any water with it?
No water. The best pork loin ever!
Do you sear the tenderloin at all before putting it in the crockpot?
We did not sear the tenderloin. Just put it in the crock pot.
Is there anyway to roast this in the oven so I can double it for Christmas dinner?
This recipe was so good I was eating the sauce with a spoon! I searched the internet for something to do with fresh cranberries and pork tenderloin (the sealed package with two in it ) and I’m so glad I picked this recipe. I made a quick fresh cranberry sauce to use instead of canned, used dijon instead of yellow mustard, and added a sprig of fresh rosemary. I will definitely be sharing this recipe and making it again.
Hey there – I have a 6.5 pork tenderloin that I would LOVE to make with this recipe….just curious…I know I need to double to ingredients…..what are your thoughts as to the crock pot cook time? Still 6 – 8 on low?
Thanks!
That’s a nice sized roast. I would think it would be around the same cooking time, but watch it closely and make sure it’s all the way done. May take closer to the 8 hours. Be sure to double the other ingredients! 🙂
Love this recipe… I used a stuffed pork roast and instead of Worcestershire sauce I used Maggis ketjap manis… Really came out great… Thanks so much for this simple recipe…
Though I was not sure about how the ingredients combined would taste, we really liked this recipe! Used the cornstarch & water for gravy on mashed potatos. A nice change from the cranberry, onion soup & Russian dressing recipes have used before.
