Fantastic recipe, but needs more liquid, Member ShawnRI

This recipe was great! The whole family loved it! I was worried that the cranberry flavor might overpower the pork, but that wasn't the case at all. The only thing I would note is that the recipe needs more liquid. I tripled the liquid in the crock pot and there wasn't much left when it finished cooking.
