Trim any excess fat from the pork and sprinkle it with salt & pepper. Place it in your slow cooker.
You may need to cut your pork loin in half to get it to fit in there.
Set aside a cup of the cranberry sauce mixture. Pour the remaining of the sauce over the pork.
Fresh rosemary gives this a beautiful punch of flavor. You can use fresh or dry (see the recipe card below.)
Add the rosemary to the slow cooker. Place the lid on, and turn the slow cooker on low.
Cook the pork on low heat for 6-8 hours or until the pork is tender. Once it is done, shred the pork with forks.
