This is a tasty recipe I received through , adapted from Cooking Light. I love apples with pork and I love apples in stuffing, so this seems like a perfect combo to me. Ingredients:
6 cups cubed white bread (about 8 slices, 1/2 inch cubes) |
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine |
1 1/4 cups diced ham (about 6 ounces) |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1/3 cup chopped carrot |
1/3 cup chopped celery |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 1/2 cups chopped granny smith apples (about 1/2 pound) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 cup apple juice |
3 lbs boneless pork loin roast |
1 tablespoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
cooking spray |
2/3 cup apple jelly |
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger |
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. To prepare the stuffing, arrange bread cubes in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 6 minutes or until toasted; set aside.
3. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ham; saute 4 minutes or until lightly browned.
4. Add onion and next 5 ingredients (onion through garlic); cook over medium-high, heat 5 minutes or until tender.
5. Add apple, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook 2 minutes.
6. Add bread cubes and apple juice to stuffing mixture, stir gently. Set aside.
7. To prepare roast, trim fat from pork.
8. Combine garlic powder and next 6 ingredients (garlic powder through 1/4 teaspoon pepper) in a small bowl; rub evenly over pork.
9. Place pork on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; insert meat thermometer into thickest portion of pork.
10. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
11. Combine the jelly, ginger, and lemon rind in a small bowl. Brush jelly mixture over roast.
12. Spoon the stuffing onto the broiler pan around pork.
13. Cover with foil, and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes; uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes or until thermometer reaches 155 degrees, basting pork occasionally with jelly mixture.
14. Cover and let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
