Oven Pork Roast With Applesauce, Baby Potatoes, Gravy and Aspara image

From the August 2009 Costco Connection and directions copy/paste for ease from http://www.keyingredient.com/recipes/205812/oven-pork-roast-with-applesauce-baby-potatoes-gravy-and-asparagus/ (I double-checked the directions & corrected) This one does require work the night before, but it isn't difficult, and it is a piece of cake the next day - just stick it in the oven. The 4-6 servings assumes 1/3 of the roast is left over.

The pork was a bit dry, but the applesauce and gravy were delicious. I'll try cooking the pork for less time next time.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less applesauce next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork. I made it with some leftover pork shoulder and it was delicious.

This pork roast was fall-off-the-bone tender and incredibly juicy. The applesauce added a subtle sweetness that complemented the savory gravy and roasted potatoes perfectly. My family loved it!
