Fruit Pork Roast

Fruit Pork Roast -- A Pinch of Joy

We had some good eating in the last couple weeks before the freezer left, including this deliciously beautiful Fruit Pork Roast.   When the freezer’s predecessor died, I almost didn’t buy a replacement. But we just couldn’t do without – in less than a week we gathered up the spare change and went shopping for a freezer. This time we decided to list the little chest on Craigslist and buy a new one to fit the new space once we move.

The people who bought it were super nice. Her sister and children were moving from Florida to live with them for the summer (and maybe longer) while the brother in law got settled in his new job and found a house in New York where he’d been transferred.  I wouldn’t back down on the price (since I had a list of seven more inquiries after theirs), but when it came time to pay the guy held back five dollars with high drama. Equally dramatic, I said Yes, we’ll take five dollars less just so you don’t ruin your reputation for driving a hard bargain. He did the happy dance. We all had a good laugh. They loaded the freezer in the back of the SUV with a bit of maneuvering and amazingly the hatchback closed!

This fruit pork loin roast was delicious and served three meals plus another one or two as pulled pork! Don’t let the long list of ingredients scare you. Easy and it cooks all day, releasing the most pleasing aromas. Take a minute to garnish with more fresh apple slices and parsley as you serve it and you’ll have a beautiful presentation.   This is worth making, even if you don’t have to empty the freezer and use up the pork roast hiding in the corner.

Tender pork roast with fruit for a delightful dinner dish. It's easy to prepare in the slow cooker but looks like a million bucks when you garnish with fresh apple slices and parsley just before serving.
