Pork Roast with Cranberries

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.
