Preparation
Step 1
I use a trick in this recipe to make these twice baked potatoes look like they’re stuffed full of cheddar, when the whole recipe actually only has 2 ounces of cheese. (Grated carrot is the secret ingredient!) It’s our little secret that they’re healthy though.
The combination of figs and lemons yield a jam that is both robust and fresh. The addition of rose wine means there is the slightest hint of berry on your tongue, but you could also substitute white wine or water if you do not wish to use wine. I love spreading a thick layer of this jam on a warm, buttered baguette and a strong cup of coffee.

OPTIONAL: Saute onions until brown. (Or you may just add them raw to the roast.)
To make the pork roast, heat olive oil in a large pot over high heat. Salt and pepper pork roast, then sear on all sides to give it some color. Reduce heat to low. Add apple juice, apple slices, onions, and bay leaf. Cover and simmer for 3 hours. (Or you may place in a 300 degree oven if you prefer.)
Toward the end of the cooking time, make the rice: melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add pecans and saute for a couple of minutes. Add wild rice and liquid, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until all liquid is cooked out.
When the roast is done, remove the roast, apples, and onions to a platter. Raise heat to medium-high (to high) and boil liquid, reducing it until thick and rich.
(Note: add fresh thyme or rosemary to the roast before cooking if you have it on hand!)
