    Made this recipe several times, usually for Christmas dinner. Versatile and I love that so many of the ingredients are pantry staples. Only change I typically make is to thicken with a flour roux made with the pork fat, rather than with apple butter, only because our grocery store doesn’t carry it!

    The first time I made this I was at work and I was working with adults with disabilities. I asked him if I could try a new recipe out and they agreed and they loved it. I just made it again and I tried making it in the Insta pot I used the Sears setting to brown the pork roast and it turned out great. I had to substitute pink lady apples for the braeburns because even though I live in one of the larger apple growing states it’s really hard to get good braeburn apples here. I’d like to upload a picture to show you how proud I am of it but I’m not that tech savvy.

    I’ve done something similar for a few years...I don’t use that much apple cider, I cook on TOP the stove, add onion, garlic, potatoes & carrots, pour water & apple cider together over the top, put the lid on & just let it cook on top the stove. If it needs more liquid, I just add more cider. Thinking of trying hard cider one of these days 😉

    I made this recipe for my family and they loved it. I used a pork loin instead and it did make a difference . It was a little dry. The sauce helped a lot with the dryness. I put a tablespoon of sugar in the sauce and less cider vinegar. I’d definitely make it again.

  • @EnPeeSee

    That pork loin would definitely need a lot less time in the oven, and you’d be shooting for an internal temperature of something closer to 145 or 150 so it stays tender and slightly pink. Loin is substantially leaner than shoulder as well, so you would need to supplement the loin roast with a lot more additional fat.

    Just made this and sadly I wish I could say I loved it. I've been cooking Boston Butt for decades and prefer it stuffed with garlic and salt and pepper in a hot oven until it falls off the bone. Guess I'm a purist when it comes to pork roast. I do think the sauce was delicious and will make again. I love apples, pork and onion together and was really looking forward to this. Maybe I'll try again and tweak it.

    Wow, butcher's terminology is really confusing. After a bit of a deep dive, I realize that none of my local groceries (one neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY) carry this cut -- ever! The cut used here should not be confused with the Center Cut Pork Loin Roast/Pork Loin Roast/Center Rib Pork Roast, much less the Pork Tenderloin. These are all names for very lean cuts that would be hammered by braising. It's also not the Bone-In Picnic Shoulder so ubiquitous around here (really cheap, but damn big), which comes from the lower shoulder, typically used in pulled pork dishes. This cut, the Boston Butt, or Pork Butt Roast comes from the upper shoulder above the shoulder blade just behind the neck. Looks like they're available to me from Amazon fresh for about 5 times the price of Picnic Shoulder (Nov 2021). As for the dish, I have been looking for pork braise recipes, and this looks really good (and curiously not so different from chef Thomas Keller's Pork Shoulder à la Matignon (available online; a matignon is a French term for a bed of combined vegetables that meat/fish/poultry is cooked in). I'm planning to try them both, and see which I prefer.

    I don’t know. Mine took longer than 2.5 hours to cook. I made way longer. The onions couldn’t caramelize because liquid kept collecting at the bottom. I don’t usually have a problem following these recipes but this one was a FAIL for me. I have not eaten yet so I can’t say whether it will be worth another try yet or not. We were going to eat at 7/7:30 now it will be more like 9/9:30. Not a happy camper. Not sure I can blame me or the recipe.

    Sauerkraut and buttered noodles. Cider sauce is kinda meh with potatoes. You can use cornmeal mush instead of the noodles as well. Bring four cups of water to a boil, stir in slowly one cup of cornmeal and a teaspoon salt. Once it starts to thicken cook on low 5-10 minutes. Mix in some cheddar cheese and a knob of butter at the end.

    @Mike's Big Mouth The pressure makes it easy to cook up food in no time, especially for working mothers and others that work. I never used a pressure cooker before, I started to use one last January, and I´m so glad I did. I love, love my pressure cooker so much. So don´t knock it until you tried it.

    @Mike's Big Mouth I chose the Crock Pot Express because it was only 55.00 and because it is a brand name. My Crock Pot stopped working in January of this year, I called the manufacturer and told them what happened they sent me a shipping label and I shipped the Crock Pot back. It didn't even take a week for them to send me a brand new Crock Pot. No shipping charges, nothing the service was so fantastic. But the point is I would have thought like you about people worshipping their electric cookers if I hadn't bought one for myself. I don't use my other cookware since I got my cooker.
