PEI Cranberry Orange Pot Roast

Directions
Brown the roast on all sides in a large lightly oiled skillet over high heat.
While meat is browning, prepare vegetables by washing and paring potatoes, carrots, and parsnips. Cut into pieces, approximately 2 inches (5 cm) in length.
Place in the bottom, and up the sides, of a slow cooker. Add onions, and place pot roast on top.
Combine cranberry sauce, orange juice, rind and cinnamon and pour over the meat.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
