1 pork loin roast (2.5 - 3 lbs)

1 packet dry onion soup

1 cup water

Roast:

•Place roast in cooking bag. Add onion soup mix and water.

•Before you carve your roast, let it sit for about 15 minutes after you remove if from the oven. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the meat more moist.

•In a small microwavable bowl add cranberry juice, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Heat in microwave until the butter is melted, mix well.
