Pork, when cooked to perfection, is my favorite meat. I started serving this dish last fall when apples were being harvested and it was a huge hit. I like granny smith but many others will do just fine. Some people like to eat the apples with the pork. I prefer them just to flavor the meat and sauce. Ingredients:
2 -3 lbs pork loin |
coarse black pepper, freshly ground |
salt |
6 apples, quartered |
1/4 cup apple juice |
1/2 cup white wine |
3/4 cup peach jam |
3 tablespoons brown sugar |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
Directions:
1. Rub pork loin with pepper and salt to taste.
2. Brown sides in frying pan.
3. Line apples on the bottom of a crockpot.
4. Lay pork loin on top of apples.
5. Whisk the remaining ingredients together and pour over pork loin and apples.
6. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
7. *Note:I use Livingston's Chablis Blanc which is about$4.00 a bottle in the grocery store. However, Beringer's Chenin Blanc or a nice German white wine (like Reisling) would be lovely as well.
8. **Note:I use my mom's homemade peach jam. If you use plain peach jam be sure to add 1/2 tsp cinnamon and a pinch of ground clove for a wonderful flavor.
