Roast Pork with Fruit

Imagine, slow cooker 'n spice aromatherapy and dinner done
when you walk in the door after a hectic day.

Prep: 15 min - Cook: 9 hr

1 medium onion, sliced
1 pork boneless loin roast, 2 pounds
1 package (8 ounces) dried fruit pieces or raisins (1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon


1. Place onion in 4- to 5-quart slow cooker. Place pork on onion;
top with fruit. Mix remaining ingredients; pour over fruit.

2. Cover and cook on low heat setting 7 to 9 hours or until pork
is tender. Serve fruit mixture over pork.

Makes 8 servings

Substitution: Apple juice enhances the flavors of the dried
fruit and pork. You can also use apricot nectar or orange juice.

Note: This recipe was tested in slow cookers with heating
elements in the side and bottom of the cooker, not in cookers
that stand only on a heated base. For slow cookers with just
a heated base, follow the manufacturer's directions for layering
ingredients and choosing a temperature.
