AUTUMN HARVEST'S BEST PORK ROAST
Pork, when cooked to perfection, is my favorite meat. I started serving this dish last fall when apples were being harvested and it was a huge hit. I like granny smith but many others will do just fine. Some people like to eat the apples with the pork. I prefer them just to flavor the meat and sauce.

Steps:
- Rub pork loin with pepper and salt to taste.
- Brown sides in frying pan.
- Line apples on the bottom of a crockpot.
- Lay pork loin on top of apples.
- Whisk the remaining ingredients together and pour over pork loin and apples.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- *Note:I use Livingston's Chablis Blanc which is about$4.00 a bottle in the grocery store. However, Beringer's Chenin Blanc or a nice German white wine (like Reisling) would be lovely as well.
- **Note:I use my mom's homemade peach jam. If you use plain peach jam be sure to add 1/2 tsp cinnamon and a pinch of ground clove for a wonderful flavor.

Tips:
- Brining the pork loin: This step is optional but highly recommended. Brining helps to keep the pork loin moist and flavorful. To brine the pork loin, dissolve 1/2 cup of salt and 1/4 cup of sugar in 4 cups of cold water. Submerge the pork loin in the brine and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Choosing the right cooking method: Pork loin can be cooked using a variety of methods, including roasting, grilling, and pan-frying. The best cooking method for you will depend on your personal preferences and the equipment you have available.
- Cooking the pork loin to the right temperature: Pork loin should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the pork loin is cooked through but still juicy and tender.
- Letting the pork loin rest before slicing: Once the pork loin is cooked, it is important to let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the pork loin, making it more tender and flavorful.
