Come join us over at the Gluten Free Homemaker's blog for What's for Dinner Wednesday. A gluten free blog carnival to help fuel your what's for dinner brainstorm.
This last year I discovered a recipe for pork roast, a recipe that I was actually very unsure of trying. You see, I think my roasts should be savory, who ever heard of a sweet roast. Brown sugar, applesauce, cinnamon... PORK! It just couldn't taste right. However, I also like to try new preparations for old favorites. My husband loves a slightly sweet twist to things, so I decided to give it a go. I'm happy I did.
This has been adjusted from the original recipe, which was already gluten free. However I cut back on a few ingredients and changed the cooking method.
Pork Roast with Brown Sugar and Applesauce (adapted)
Ingredients:
2 lb boneless pork roast
1 single serving all natural applesauce
Dash of cinnamon (more or less to taste)
1/2 cup light brown sugar (lightly packed)
1 1/2 teaspoons ginger (I use freshly grated)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
In a small bowl, mix applesauce, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger.
Place roast in a casserole dish, pour applesauce mixture over top of the roast and put the lid on the dish. Place in the oven for an hour (or until done when temped.)
Serve.

Yum! I have some pork chops for dinner tonight, I might have to give them a little of your toppings!
I love that this is so quick to prepare! I will have to add this to my menu next week.
I bet my boys would go for this. I added apricot jam to my last pork roast.
I had something similar recently and it was very good. I'm glad you decided to try something different. It paid off!
I am also a sceptic when it comes to sweetened dishes that should have been savory (in my mind). Every once in a while I come across one that I like in spite of everything. I think pork can occasionally handle a sweet treatment. Thanks for the idea!
Sounds great! I definitely like the idea of pork roast with sweet overtones....yum!
Great idea! This looks great and easy to make. Thanks for sharing.
