Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 lb. pork roast, trimmed and tied
• Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 medium white or yellow onion, peeled and sliced
• 1 medium apple, cored and sliced
• 1 medium pear, cored and sliced
• 12 oz. apple cider

Directions

1. In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium. Season the pork on all sides generously with salt and pepper. Brown the pork on all sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside. Add the onion, apple and pear to the pan. Season with a large pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until soft and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes.

2. Pour in the cider, scraping the pan to release any of the brown bits at the bottom of the pan. Add the pork back into the pan. Cover and bake in the oven until the pork is cooked through, about 40 minutes. Remove the pork from the pan, place it on a cutting board and tent with foil. Let sit for 10 minutes. Puree the cider mixture in a blender. Pour back into the pan and bring to a boil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Slice the pork and serve with the gravy on the side.
