Re: 30 Days of Crock Pot Recipes
Normally I would shy away from mixing fruit and meat, too. A good friend of mine grew up with this recipe, her family raves about it, and I tried it last night:
-in the clrockpot, mix equal amounts of brown sugar and apple juice (I did half the sugar because I ran out and the sauce was plenty sweet and delicious)
-add 2 pork loins, mostly defrosted from the freezer and then pan seared
-the liquid should come at least half way up the side of the meat, but does not need to cover
-I cooked for 5 hours on high, but it can be left all day on low.
-before serving make a gravy with the sauce while the meat rests
-serve with mashed potoatoes
My eldest told me that she prefers a savory gravy, but everyone in the family enjoyed this meal. I'm typically not a big fan of pork or potatoes, but I will be making this again.
