Pork & Apples

2 tablespoons butter

1 pound pork loin, cut in bite-sized pieces

1 large onion, sliced

1½

cups apple cider

2 teaspoons grated lemon rind

1 cup broth (vegetable or chicken)

2 large apples (McIntosh, red delicious or your choice), cored and sliced

3 tablespoons parsley, chopped

¼

cup whole milk

Salt and pepper

Heat butter in large frying pan and brown pork, about 2 to 3 minutes each side. Transfer meat to a dish and keep warm.

Add the onion to the pan and brown slightly. Add the cider, lemon rind and broth and boil for about 5 minutes. Return the pork to the pan and cook gently on low for about 30 minutes until pork is cooked through and tender.

Stir in the apples and cook 5 more minutes. Remove the meat, onions and apples to a bowl with a slotted spoon; cover to keep warm.

Add parsley and milk to the pan and stir to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over meat and serve.

Serves four to six.
