Sweet Pork

We had a RS night a while back all about food. This lady brought this recipe and we got to try it. It was really good. I am going to make it someday.

Ingredients:
2 pound pork
2 cups apple juice
dash garlic salt
1/4 c. water
1 can sliced green chilies
1 15 oz. can green enchilada sauce
1/2 c. brown sugar

Directions:
Put pork, 1/2-1 cup apple juice, water, and garlic salt in crock pot on high for about 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 (until it shreds easily, but don't let it get too dry). Remove pork from crock pot and drain any liquid left in the pot. Shred pork.

In a food processor or blender, blend 1/2-1 cup apple juice, chilies, enchilada sauce and brown sugar. If it looks too thick, add more apple juice little by little.

Put shredded pork and sauce in crockpot and cook on low for 2 hours.

Roll in a big tortilla with cilantro-lime rice, black beans, cheese and lettuce.

Biscuits with Sausage Gravy

Ingredients: 1 pound breakfast sausage, hot or mild 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 3 to 4 cups whole milk, more to taste 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, more to taste biscuits, warmed, for serving Directions: With your finger, tear small pieces of sausage and add them in a single layer to a large heavy skillet. Brown the sausage over medium-heat to medium-low. Sprinkle on half the flour and stir so that the sausage soaks it all up, then add more little by little. Stir it around and cook it for another minute or so, then pour in the milk, stirring constantly. Cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens. (This may take a good 10 to 12 minutes.) Sprinkle in the seasoned salt and pepper and continue until very thick and luscious. If it gets too thick too soon, just splash in another 1/2 cup of milk or more if needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Spoon the sausage gravy over the warm biscuits and serve immediately!

Pomegranate Syrup

  4 cups pomegranate juice 1/2 cup sugar (I'm trying this with stevia to be more paleo friendly) 1 tablespoon freshly squeeze lemon juice   Place the pomegranate juice, sugar and lemon juice in a 4-quart saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the mixture has reduced to 1 1/2 cups, approximately 50 minutes. It should be the consistency of syrup. Remove from the heat and allow to cool in the saucepan for 30 minutes. Transfer to a glass jar and allow to cool completely before covering and storing in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
