Pork Roasted with Spiced Apples

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 boneless pork loin roast (4-5 pounds)

SPICED APPLES:

• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 medium apples, peeled, cored and sliced

Combine salt, ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon; rub over roast. Place roast, fat side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert a meat thermometer. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until thermometer registers 160°. Cover and let stand 15 minutes before slicing. In a medium skillet, combine the first six spiced apples ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened. Add apples; simmer, uncovered, until apples are just tender, stirring gently. Serve with sliced pork roast, potatoes or crusty bread

Both the pork roast and apples will freeze well (separately). Store individual portions in airtight containers.
