Number Of Ingredients 17

4-5 lb pork loin, bone in or boneless
1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger, ground
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp kosher salt
3 Tbsp canola oil
4 bay leaves
3 medium onions, sliced
3 medium apples, cored, peeled and sliced
1 c raisins or pitted prunes, cut in half
3 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
3/4 c brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 c zinfandel wine
1 1/2 c water
cornstarch for thickening sauce if desired
1 c sour cream

Steps:

1. Blend nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and pepper together and rub over entire roast. Brown the meat on all sides in the oil at medium-high heat.
2. Add all remaining ingredients (except cornstarch and sour cream) to the pot. If cooking on top of the stove, cover and simmer for about 4 hours until very tender or place your Dutch oven in the oven at 300-degrees for about 5 hours.
3. Remove the meat and bay leaves from the pot and thicken the gravy with some cornstarch mixed in a small amount of water; stir in sour cream. Serve with wide noodles.
