great substitutes… Instead of the Adobo All Purpose Seasoning, use 2 Tbsp. salt and 1 Tbsp. of black pepper. Also, instead of the dried cranberries, use 1 can (14 oz.) whole berry cranberry sauce.

storage tip… Leftover pork roast can be stored in quart or gallon size bags with the Seal-A-Meal Vacuum Sealer by Rival. Freeze or refrigerate the pork for an easy make-ahead.
