Fruit and Spiced Pork -Weekend Gadget

I love my Nesco Roaster oven. It's great when you need that extra room in your oven or when you do not want to heat the whole oven up for a small roast. There are very affordable now days, cost about 35.00 and a good buy for the College student. It allows a little homecooking while away from home. I have an older one and it's blue. I was able to get a current photo of one, sold at a popular family Store. Photo farther down in the recipe.

This was a great flavorful one and very tender. Made and served as a Christmas Eve meal with Mashed Potatoes, Cranberries and steamed Broccoli. We have some Non alcoholic Grog and sourdough bread. A very Fruitful meal!

Fruit and spiced Pork Roast

one 4-6 Lb Pork roast
3/4 cup Welch's Blueberry-Pomegranate-Concord Grape juice.
one Granny Smith apple cut in chucks
1 teaspoons Saigon Cinnamon
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 Tablespoons Tapioca flour.
1 Tablespoon softened Butter


Put roast in a covered roasting dish, on a roasting rack.
I used a small Nesco Roaster oven.
( click on photo for more info on the oven).


Pour Juice over pork and add apples around.
Mix Sugar , cinnamon and flour together.
Brush top of roast with softened butter.
Pat Sugar mixture on top.

Cover and cook at 350F for about two hours. Until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit. I used a roast with a pop up timer and it worked well. Done when the pop up is up.
Let it set covered for 20 minutes before slicing.

Coffee time with Auntie E- A perfect chop!

I really missed my coffee while on vacation. I did get StarBucks as well as the hotels and B&B we stayed at. But I really missed my favorite Folgers Black Silk. It was so nice to get back at make a pot.
Yesterday we went to the Amish market. It is about a 20 minute ride for us. School is starting back up and those lunch meats are just great. My daughter likes to make her own sandwiches. Does your kids carry a lunch to school? I think she has done this since first grade. Now she will be going into 11th grade and still carrying her lunch.
While I was there at the market a picked up some Boneless Pork Chops. That was our dinner. Decided not to marinade them this time. Thinking of another way to cook them and for it to be healthy. So here is the recipe for you, they were very good and easy to make.

Applewood Pork Chops.

4 Boneless Pork chops (4oz each)
8 slices of Applewood Bacon
4 tablespoons Olive oil
Coarse Sea Salt
Fresh coarsely Ground black Pepper

• Preheat over to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
• Pour olive oil in a 9x13 baking dish. sprinkle with salt and pepper
• Wrap each pork chop with 2 pieces of Applewood Bacon
• Place wrapped chop in baking dish and coat both sides.
• Place in oven and bake for 30 minutes.

Prep time is about 10 minutes and cook time 30.
