Here’s the final recipe of the week. I hope you have enjoyed cooking with the Crockpot week. Remember, next week we will be having a contest where you will be able to submit your favorite recipes…stay tuned!
This is a recipe that I usually double, but then divide into four portions,putting three in the freezer. I keep the stuffing in a separate bag, but otherwise dump everything else in a ziploc bag to freeze. Half of a recipe fits in my small crockpot.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 4 hours
Ready In: 4 hours 20 minutes
Yields: 6 servings
INGREDIENTS:
2-1/2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
3/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 pounds boneless pork loin roast
4 Granny Smith Apples
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cup cranberries
1 pkg Stovetop Stuffing mix
DIRECTIONS:
Combine the first seven ingredients; rub over roast. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight (Preferred, not required). Place herb rubbed pork in crockpot, surrounded by cranberries and apples. Gently pour water around pork. Cook on High for 4 hours, or low for 6-8 hours. In the last 10 minutes prior to serving, dump the stuffing mix on top of roast, mixing it in the juices. Allow it to cook for a few more minutes, until the stuffing is softened.
Make sure the cranberries you use are dried, like Craisins. I made the mistake of using frozen cranberries once, and it was too sour. I forgot to clarify that when I sent the recipe. : )
