    Easy and excelentFebruary 13, 2010 By marinoboy
    I am a pretty advanced cook, but once in a while I want to just set it and forget it. This recipe was extremely easy to put together. The hardest part was cutting the whole pork loin we bought into thirds. The first thing my wife noticed was the aroma: I opened it about 2 hours into the cooking to put a thermometer into the meat: she was upstairs and she asked 'what is that delicious smell'? One thing I did was to cook it on high for the first 3 hours since I set it around 1:30. I would recommend to set on low as the recipe calls. The taste was excellent. We paired it with some Zatarain's long grain and wild rice mix. I would recommend adding a vegetable also, maybe whole green beans. This is a great recipe.

    Very moist and tastyDecember 02, 2008 By Marketa14
    This recipe was delicious. Usually a pork loin would come out of a crock pot a teeny bit dry, but not this time. Very delicious and juicy. My rather finicky teens gobbled it right up. It was very easy to prepare - did not take much time at all. Perfect for getting going in the morning and returning to in the afternoon for a sit down meal.

    Crock Pot Pork Roast with Cranberry SauceJuly 23, 2008 By bqueen2
    This was a delicious recipe. The meat was so tender. My family loved it. My daughter-in-law doesn't like pineapple but with this she thought was good. We will definitely have it again.

    Terrible, just terribleApril 03, 2008 By ajtaysmom
    This was a very disappointing dinner..the smell alone made me order out for pizza instead of eating it. I hated the way it smelled and the taste was odd. The ingredients sounded great but unfortunately it didn't taste like I had hoped. The texture came out stringy, and the taste was sweet and not in the good way. I will never make this again.
