Twenty-five Butterflies

 

We tried this last Thursday, with mashed potatoes and green beans. I broke my rule about changing a new recipe by cutting it in half. It was still plenty for four adults. I suspect the full recipe would feed eight to ten.

 

Slow Cooker Apple Cider Pork

 

2 pounds pork tenderloin

2 large carrots, peeled and sliced

3 apples, peeled, cored and sliced

1 onion, chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon EACH ginger, allspice and nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon sage

1 1/2 cups cider

1 tablespoon Worcestershire

 

Put carrots, onions, apples and garlic in slow cooker. Place pork on top. Blend cider, Worcestershire, herbs and spices; pour over pork and vegetables. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours, until meat falls apart and vegetables are tender. Remove and shred pork; return to slow cooker and continue cooking about 30 minutes.
