Have You Tried Pork Stew With Apple Juice?

[GeorgiaPeach]

I bought pork stew meat yesterday because it was in the clearance bin and thought I'd just google myself a recipe to use it in. I found a bunch of pork stew recipes that include apple juice and an apple.

Has anyone ever made something like this? Can't imagine how it would taste.

OR does anyone have a great recipe that your family likes using pork stew meat? I've never seen this before and thought we'd try something new this year :chef:

I haven't made a stew with apple juice, but there was a pork roast with apples and stuffing in one of the old PC cookbooks (Celebrate, I think) that was really good. Apples just go well with pork. And if there are other veggies in it, you won't taste "APPLE," just a general sweetness.

I'm worried about the sweetness factor. It has carrots and potatoes so I'm not all that worried about the one apple. It's that the only liquid is apple juice. It sounds good but I'd hate to go to serve it to my family and no one want it cause it's too sweet....then I'd have to call in a pizza :yuck:

If you think it'll be a problem, make it with half juice and half water or broth. Are there any seasonings in it that would make it seem less sweet? Like pepper, rosemary, etc.? (And at least it's juice and not cider - that would be really sweet.)

I make a great pork chops with apples recipe that is not too sweet -- if it gets overcooked it can get a bit sweet but I just add some dijon mustard and it fixes it right up. I bet it'll be delicious!! You'll have to share the recipe with us!

I have made beef in apple juice but not pork.
