Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 package cornbread mix (I use Jiffy Cornbread mix, which is 8 1/2 ounces) prepared per directions, cooled and crumbled
2 cups bread crumbs
1 pound country sausage, browned and drained
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup of apple pie filling, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon sage, add more according to taste
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning, add more according to taste
2 cups of chicken broth
1 (10 1/2-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 pork shoulder, 4 to 5 pounds, deboned and cut butterfly-style
Oil and flour for roasting pan
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon crushed, dried rosemary
Sage, to taste
Cotton twine

Steps:

  • Mix the crumbled cornbread and the bread crumbs in a large bowl. Add sausage, raisins, and apple pie filling. Mix well. Add seasonings. Pour in half of the chicken broth and the cream of mushroom soup and stir well. Add the remaining broth until you get the moisture consistency desired.
  • Lay the shoulder flat. Spoon the stuffing mixture onto the center and spread to within 1/2-inch of sides. Roll the roast from the shortest end. Using several lengths of cotton twine, tie the roast securely and knot the string.
  • Place the rolled roast in a roasting pan coated with oil and flour. Rub the meat with the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, rosemary and sage. Cover, and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until meat thermometer reaches 170 degrees, about 1 hour 45 minutes. Remove cover, and allow the roast to brown slightly. Allow roast to cool slightly before slicing.

Categories     Onion     Pork     Roast     Dinner     Apple     Bacon     Celery     Fall     Parsley     Jam or Jelly     Gourmet     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

For stuffing:
6 slices firm white sandwich bread, cut into 1-inch squares
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped celery including some leaves
11/2 lb tart apples such as Granny Smith, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick wedges
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage or 1/4 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
For roast:
1 (9- to 11-lb) crown roast of pork, rib ends frenched
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 lb sliced bacon
For pan sauce:
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup red-currant or apple jelly

Steps:

  • Make stuffing:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spread bread squares in 1 layer in a shallow baking pan and bake in middle of oven until dry and lightly toasted, about 15 minutes. Leave oven on (for roast) and cool bread.
  • Cook onion and celery in butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in apples, sugar, salt, pepper, sage, thyme, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Reduce heat to low, then cook, covered, stirring, until apples are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in bread squares, parsley, and chives.
  • Make roast:
  • Set oven rack in lower third of oven. Sprinkle roast inside and out with salt and pepper and put in a large flameproof roasting pan. Mound stuffing in cavity. Wrap tips of rib bones with foil to prevent burning, then wrap meat below bones with overlapping bacon strips, securing them with wooden toothpicks.
  • Roast pork in middle of oven, covering stuffing loosely with foil after 30 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer registers 155°F when inserted 2 inches into center of meat (do not touch bones), 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 hours total.
  • Transfer roast to a carving board and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 15 to 20 minutes. (Temperature of meat will rise to 160°F; meat will be slightly pink.)
  • Make pan sauce:
  • Skim fat from pan drippings. Straddle pan across 2 burners and add water, then deglaze pan by boiling over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits. Pour through a fine sieve into a saucepan, discarding solids.
  • Add jelly and any juices accumulated on carving board, then simmer sauce, whisking occasionally and skimming any fat that rises, until jelly is melted, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove all foil from roast and carve into chops by cutting between ribs.

Tips:

  • Pork shoulder is an ideal cut of meat for this recipe because it is flavorful and affordable. If you choose to use a different cut of meat, such as pork loin, you may need to adjust the cooking time.
  • You can use any kind of apples for this recipe, but tart apples, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn, will provide a nice contrast to the sweetness of the pork.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can cook the pork shoulder until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. However, cooking it to 160 degrees Fahrenheit will ensure that it is safe to eat.
  • Let the pork shoulder rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Apple stuffed pork shoulder is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the apples add a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
