Ingredients

  • 1 boneless pork shoulder butt roast (3-1/2 to 4 pounds)
  • 12 small whole onions
  • 1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Method

  • Place roast, fat side up, in a greased roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 45 minutes. Place onions around roast, cover and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine cranberry sauce, orange juice, cornstarch, orange zest, cinnamon and salt; mix well. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Spoon 3/4 cup over roast and onions; set remaining sauce aside.
  • Bake, basting occasionally, 30-45 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 160°-170° and onions are tender. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing. Heat reserved sauce; serve with roast and onions.
