My sister, Linda Polo, first made this recipe for a Christmas dinner. It has been a family favorite ever since. There is just something about cranberries that say holiday.
By Pat Savoie, originally by her sister, Linda Polo
3-4 pound pork roast
Salt & Pepper
1 pound cranberries — fresh
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 cup orange juice
Season roast and bake 350 degrees 1 1/2 hours. In a sauce pan, combine all other ingredients. Cook until cranberries pop, about 5 minutes. Pour over roast . Continue baking until done, about 30 more minutes. Slice roast and arrange on platter. Drizzle with cranberry gravy. Sometimes I serve the gravy with plain rice or rice dressing as a side with the roast.
