Heavenly Pork Loin Recipes

HEAVENLY HARVEST PORK ROAST RECIPE - (3.6/5)

Steps:

• Combine pomegranate juice and sugar in small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Pour into 4 1/2-quart CROCK-POT® slow cooker. Blend salt, garlic salt, steak seasoning and pepper in small mixing bowl. Rub mixture over roast. Place roast in CROCK-POT® slow cooker. Turn roast to cover with juice mixture. Top roast with pear and orange slices. Cover; cook on HIGH 6 to 8 hours or until tender. Serve with juice and fruit slices. Tip Unless you have a 5-, 6-, or 7-quart CROCK-POT® slow cooker, cut any roast larger than 2 1/2 pounds in half so it cooks completely.

OVEN ESSENTIALS: HEAVENLY PORK LOIN RIBS

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. You will need a good study, ovenproof pot with a lid. My recommendation would be a medium-sized Dutch oven.
• 3. If you do not wish to make the BBQ sauce, no worries. Either make one of your own, or pick up your favorite store-bought variety... Sweet Baby Ray's comes to mind.
• 4. You want the ribs submerged in the liquid. So, if you need more, feel free to add it. In my case I needed about another cup of liquid, so I added 1/2 cup additional water, and 1/2 cup additional beer. This is a recipe for a pork braise; it is not a recipe for rocket fuel. The ratio of beer, to water, to stock, does not have to be exact. Have fun with it. Just remember to take notes on how you changed things up.
• 5. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
• 6. Add all the ingredients for the rib bath into a large pot, and bring up to a simmer.
• 7. Add the ribs, and simmer, covered, (not boil) for 1 hour.
• 8. Remove from heat, add the red potatoes, cover, and allow to sit for an additional hour. In this stage, you are not over heat... just letting the pot sit, and slowly cool.
• 9. While the ribs are sitting there doing nothing, add the BBQ sauce ingredients to a small saucepan, bring to a simmer, then remove from heat, and reserve.
• 10. About 1/2 hour before the ribs are ready, place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 325f (165c).
• 11. Remove the ribs, and taters from the pot. Then, strain the solids, and add them to the ribs.
• 12. Return the ribs, and solids to the empty pot.
• 13. Add the BBQ sauce, and toss with a pair of tongs, or fork, to coat.
• 14. Cover and place into the preheated oven, until the ribs are fork tender, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
• 15. PLATE/PRESENT
• 16. Serve the ribs with the taters, and onions, crusty bread, and some extra sauce. Enjoy.
• 17. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
