Just for John

As requested, the recipe for slow cooked pork with apples, if you can call it a recipe. I am rather hoping that Kath might improve it for me and please do let me know of any changes you might make so  I can try them.

You will need: cooking apples / pork (I had loin steaks) / stock (I used chicken)

Method:

1.  Put apple slices in bottom of slow cooker
2.  Put pork on top of apples
3.  Put stock on top of the lot

I added a bit of ground pepper and some sage and slow cooked it on high for about 4 hours then on medium for a couple more.  At one stage it did look as if it might be fermenting but I just let it carry on and it turned out alright.
Jamie suggested not serving up too many of the apples on the plate as it could be  a bit overpowering, but the flavour of them had permeated the pork very nicely.

I am sure that variations with other/more veggies and herbs and different cuts of pork would all go down equally well.

Enjoy with mash and veg and a glass or two of cider!
