Tonight's dinner was reminiscent of a dish I used to make several years ago but like a lot of things it just sort of went by the wayside. It was called Lithuanian pork. To night's main dish came from A 1998 Hometown Collection America's Best Recipes from Oxmoor House. It is a compendium of recipes from various small cookbooks. This recipe is from The Junior League of Sioux City, Iowa and Is titled Pork Roast and Apples. Here is my Adaptation.
1 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup maple syrup
1teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 cup apple cider
1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon turmeric 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 3 medium apples, peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pork loin no larger than 5 lbs
(Mine was about three lbs. )
Combine the first six ingredients in a small bowl and rub on the roast. Place on a rack over a shallow pan. Roast at 350 degrees until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees.
Combine the next five ingredients in a small pan, bring to a boil and add apples. Simmer until apples are tender. Put roast on platter and spoon apple mixture over . I think the next time I would put a few on the roast and the rest in a bowl.
Even the I don't like pork , like this. A definite make again.
I really like this book and have several different years. The recipes are all really good. This one stays on the shelf.

Having over 2000 cookbooks from the 1800's to present, I have decided to make some of the recipes and share the results. I am sure some will be fun and wonderful and others will be less than desirable.
