That reminds me of two pork recipes I'm quite fond of: one for a pork loin cooked in cider with sweet potatoes, carrots, turnips, apples and fresh thyme, until you end up with pork pot roast. And the other for thick pork chops layered into a crockpot with large slices of onion, dried apricots and cranberries, sultanas and . . . I want to say cider, again, but I'm a bit muzzy on the subject as it's been almost a year since I cooked it last, due to my living with vegetarians.

Anyway, what I mean to say is that that sounds lovely and I shall have to try making it should I ever get the chance.
