tonight's dinner
PORK AND SWEET POTATO DINNER
3 lbs. boneless pork loin
4 sweet potatoes, peeled
2 med. size apples
1/4 c. apple juice or white wine
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. apple pie spice
1 tsp. salt
Cube the pork and the sweet potatoes in serving sized pieces. In a skillet, brown the pork cubes. Add sweet potatoes. Core, slice and add the apples. Blend apple juice or white wine, brown sugar, apple pie spice and salt. Pour over the top. Place lid on skillet and simmer until tender, about an hour.
CROCK POT: In the bottom of the crock pot place apple slices, then sweet potatoes, then browned pork cubes. Pour combined juice, spices and salt over the top. Place the lid on and cook on low speed for 8-12 hours. Makes 6 servings.
I had no apple pie spice so I improvised using just cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. I'm thinking eight to twelve hours might be a tad long so I'll check it after six (seeing as how I have no idea how old this recipe is) and go from there.
