Here is another delicious recipe. We got pork center loin from SAM's the other day for $1.48 a lb. This was the first recipe I made with this meat. I had some apples in the fridge and decided this was the dish to make.
Flanders Pork & Apples
From the cookbook: Casserole Treasury by Lousene Rousseau Brunner
2 lbs. pork shoulder or loin sliced 1/2" thick
12 small white onions ( I chopped up some Spanish onion that I had)
2 TBS. flour
!/2 C. white wine ( I used o.j. and a dash of Southern Comfort)
1/2 c. chicken broth or condensed consomme ( I used chicken broth)
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 tsp. dried oregano and rosemary mixed or 1 Tbs. fresh, chopped
(I had fresh rosemary and dried oregano)
1 tsp. minced parsley (I used dried)
1 lb. tart cooking apples, peeled and sliced
1. Trim fat off the pork slices and try out in a heavy skillet. Skim out the brown particles, and saute in the fat, the pork and onions. Remove to a medium casserole.
2. If there is much fat left in the skillet pour it out and measure back 2 TBS. Stir in the flour and slowly add the wine and broth, stirring until the sauce is smooth and thick.
3. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper, add the herbs, and pour over the casserole. Cover tightly and bake 2 hours in a slow oven, 300 degrees. (If your casserole lid does not fit tightly cover the casserole first with heavy brown paper and then put on the lid.)
4. When the casserole has baked 1 1/2 hours stir in the apples, cover, again, and finish baking. Serves 6.

This seems like it would be a great dish for you up north with your frigid temps and white stuff on the ground. You can stay indoors smelling something delicious making for dinner.
