Dicho, I have always tended towards apples with pork, but a few years ago it struck me that there was another "Fall" kind of flavor that fit with both. Try this recipe which for me is the ultimate way to eat pork roast!Spaw's Black Walnut Pork Roast
You can use any pork roast you like, but a nice tenderloin is hard to beat. Make up the following "goo"
1 Cup chopped black walnuts 1/4 cup chopped onion 1 Cup Chopped Apples 1/2 Cup Raisins 1 Cup Apple Butter Dash of GROUND Nutmeg, Allspice, Clove. 1 teaspoon salt
Slice the roast lengthwise to create TWO long pockets and pack them full of the "goo." Tie it up as best possible and then cover the entire roast in the remainder of the goo. Use an appropriate pan, add about a 1/2 cup of water, and cover it with foil. Bake at 375 at 30 minutes per pound.
Cool slightly then slice and serve. The residue in the pan and the cutting board scrap can be additionally moistened as necessary and poured over each piece
Black Walnuts, Apples, and Pork were made for each other. A side of sweet potatoes, or acorn or buternut squash, and you'll be thinking you're dining at the Pearly Gates! Sheer Heaven!
