Directions

Roast Pork with Sweet Potatoes and Apples
1 boneless pork roast (4 lbs), trimmed of fat
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
3 large sweet potatoes, halved
3 large apples, cored and quartered
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Coat a large Dutch oven with no-stick spray and place over medium-high heat until hot. Add the pork. Cook for 2 minutes, or until brown. Turn and cook for 2 minutes, or until brown. Remove from the heat.
In a medium bowl, combine the honey, orange juice, apple juice concentrate, pepper, and brown sugar. Spoon over the pork. Place the sweet potatoes around the pork. Cover and bake for 2 hours, or until the pork has an internal temperature of 150 degrees F.

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