Pork with Apples and Sweet Potatoes

I had purchased a whole pork loin and froze 2/3 of it without cutting it first so then had to thaw all of and come up with several recipes to use it up. This was pretty easy and even tastier than I expected.

 

about 1 lb of pork loin

apple, chopped, not peeled

sweet potato, chopped

Orange wedges and juice

sprinkle brown sugar

drizzle of honey

crushed fennel seed

crushed rosemary

black pepper

garlic powder

water

The amounts will depend on how much meat you have and how many people you are feeding, and how much you like each seasoning. Go light on the brown sugar as this is meant to be a savory dish

Put chopped apples and sweet potatoes on bottom of 7x11 pyrex baking dish (or whatever) and rest roast in center sprinkle seasonings on vegetables and meat. 

Bake 40 -60 minutes depending on the size of the roast.

Note:

I like to crumble the fennel seeds and rosemary so you don't get to much in one bite...

I usually put a little water (or other liquid) in the bottom of the pan to keep things moist and prevent the juices from burning while baking.

I think I will try adding some chopped onions next time to give it a little more complexity.

Another good autumn recipe

Bartsy's Sweet Potato Puff

2-3 large sweet potatoes
4 T butter
1/4-1/2 c brown sugar
sprinkle nutmeg
1/4-1/2 tsp cinnamon
1-2 beaten eggs
1 tsp Baking powder


Boil sweet potatoes until tender, about 30 minutes.

Peel, mash, mix in all ingredients. Bake for about 20 minutes or so, until "puffed".

Note: Its a good idea to allow time for the sweet potatoes to cool before you peel them, it can be very challenging to peel them without touching them...but if you can't wait : cut the ends off and cut the skin from one end to the other then use something to protect your hand and you can slip the whole potato out into the bowl.
