Remove foil and continue baking 30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees when tested with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of roast.
Transfer roast to cutting board; cover with foil. Internal temperature will continue to rise 5 degrees to 10 degrees during stand time.
Measure juices from pan. Add enough remaining cranberry apple juice to equal 1 1/2 cups. Combine juices and apricot preserves in small saucepan. Stir water into cornstarch in cup until smooth; stir into juice mixture. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until thickened, stirring frequently. Add dried cranberries, apricots and raisins. Cook 2 minutes; remove from heat.
