Both ways, roast for 20-25 minutes or until roast registers 135°F.
- Meanwhile, place the 1 cup orange juice, 2 cups sugar, 12 ounces fresh cranberries in a large saucepan. Heat and stir over medium-high heat until cranberries burst open and mixture starts to make a syrup, approximately 15 minutes.
