Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, brown pork cubes in oil over medium heat. Don't worry about
cooking all the way through - just light brown them on the outside. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove
pork from skillet to slow cooker and add onions, carrots and apples to skillet and cook until onions are translucent and apples are tender. Remove from skillet to slow cooker. Add cider, sherry, brandy, marjoram, allspice and rosemary to skillet. Scrape skillet to bring up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour over pork in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat setting for about 7 hours.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve with steamed red potatoes tossed with butter and chopped parsley, and steamed
baby carrots and green beans.
