ecb Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Per request, posting the recipe for this. It's very east to prep, great for leftovers, and has the right taste balance for breakfast or dinner food IMO: ingredients: 1 pork loin, 3-4lb 6-7 apples; peeled, cored, and quartered 1/4 cup grated fresh ginger 1/4 cup apple juice olive oil salt, pepper 1. prepare apples and place in bottom of slow cooker 2. mix grated ginger and apple juice 3. sear pork loin in frying pan with olive oil, salt, and pepper 4. place pork loin in slow cooker. 5. pour apple juice/ginger mixture over pork 6. cook on low 7-8 hours To serve I usually will pull off some pieces of pork along with the apple ginger slurry (mmmm, slurry) and put them in a small pot, mix and reheat. The pork can dry out a bit if served directly but when mixed with the apple & ginger it is delicious. Serve with sweet potatoes and veggies. This is also a great meat to have around when you need something to serve with breakfast. The original recipe also calls for 1/4 cup of brown sugar but it's really not needed.

karacooks Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Hm. That sounds good! I wonder if I could just slice apples into the pot and add a little water for moisture. I don't keep fruit juice around (I'll drink too much) but I could put apples/apple sauce in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecb Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 I'm sure that would be fine. I'd just mix the ginger with the water, or maybe use some unsweetened apple sauce or blended apples to make something you can pour over the top. And yes it is good and stupid easy to make.

Snicci Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 What kind of apples do you use? Sweet ones or tart ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecb Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Tart is best in all circumstances. Seriously, just my own taste buds talking. I'd go with Granny Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snicci Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I was afraid you were going to say that I may go with a few tart and a few sweet (I prefer them sweet). Can't wait to try this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
