Sweet Apple Pork

As this is my first attempt at writing my own recipe I hope I have been clear enough. Please let me know if you need any clarification. I hope this turns out well for everyone trying it.  I will also try to include photo's in the future.

Sweet Apple Pork
Ingredients
4 pork loin chops (I use boneless)
2 large potato's
3-4 large carrots quartered (lengthwise and width wise)
1/2 tsp thyme
1/3 cup white wine
1 cup vegetable stock
1 cup apple sauce
1 onion (diced)
1/2 cup white flour
Black pepper to taste
1 tsp mince garlic
1tbsp olive oil
optional: 50g thin slice prosciutto chopped

To thicken Sauce:
1/4 cup corn starch
1/2 - 3/4 cup COLD water

Saute onion, garlic, oil and optional prosciutto in pressure cooker. While onion is cooking combine flour, thyme and black pepper in a freezer bag and toss the pork (one at a time) into the seasoning. When onion is cooked add pork and brown a couple minutes each side. After pork is browned remove from pressure cooker and place to the side.

Place potato's, carrots, wine, stock and apple sauce in pressure cooker. When stirred to combine place the pork on top and push down into the liquid. Lock the pressure lid in place and cook on HIGH pressure for 9 minutes. Quick release the pressure and remove the lid.

Remove the pork, potato's and carrots. Combine the cold water and corn starch. Set your cooker back to Saute mode and wait for the remaining liquid to boil. Slowly add the cold water and starch mixture, constantly stirring (I also add a but more black pepper to taste). When the sauce reaches your desired consistency you can stop adding. Serve your plates and then place the desire amount of sauce over the pork and/or vegetables. I also serve this with steamed green beans. Enjoy :)

I had this tonight and I really enjoyed it and so did the kids. I hope it works as well for anyone else!

And So It Begins

Well this is the newest addition to my kitchen. I am so happy to finally have a Cuisinart Pressure Cooker, it really is a god send. At first I thought it may just be another gadget that may not get used much but honestly this is one of my favorite pieces of equipment, its magnificent.
Never have I imagined cooking being so 'Quick and Easy' it really helps take the WORK out of cooking. I love to cook, and bake especially but this has really resurrected my desire to experiment with recipes and make new healthy enjoyable meals for my family.

So if you would like to join my journey and try some Jennifer original recipes that I really hope you'll enjoy I would be grateful for any feedback. At times I may add some recipes that I have just tweaked to suit my taste. I hope to update this blog at least once a week but when I have more time I will update even more frequently.
