This recipe is a pork roast baked with honey, orange juice, apple juice concentrate, brown sugar, sweet potatoes, and apples.

Ingredients:

  • 1 boneless pork loin roast, 3 to 4 pounds, fat trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large sweet potatoes, quartered
  • 3 large apples, cored and quartered

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 375°.

Coat a large ovenproof Dutch oven with vegetable oil and place over medium-high heat. When very hot, add the pork roast. Cook, turning, until all sides are browned, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat.

In a medium bowl, combine the honey, orange juice, apple juice concentrate, pepper, and brown sugar. Spoon over the pork roast. Place the sweet potatoes around the pork. Cover and bake for 2 hours. Pork should register about 150 ° on an instant read thermometer.

Place the apple quarters around the pork. Bake, uncovered, basting frequently, for 20 minutes, or until the apples are just tender. Let the pork stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve pork roast sliced, with the sweet potatoes and apples.
Serves 8 to 10.

Can't beat the combination of flavorsMay 30, 2008By love4cooking
"This recipe is fabulous. I made it one evening and my teenager had a bunch of friends come over after school. They all smelled it cooking and commented so I invited them all to eat dinner. They loved it, my husband loved it, I loved it. I would warn you only about one thing, consider making more of the sauce and definitely more apples. They scarfed them down and wanted more. It has a bite because of the pepper, but if you don't like spicy or you have people over that don't, I would consider cutting the pepper down to 1 tsp. It would still be an incredible dish. I baked mine in a corning ware casserole after browning it---cooks a lot faster that way. Would recommend this to anyone."
