Recipe for apple pork with bacon
Going to a Christmas lunch during the holidays? Then this lovely classic has to be on the table; apple pork! A dish that has been a part of my mother’s Christmas table for as long as I can remember. The sweet, the sour, and the salty – the soft and the crunchy, it’s just a delightful mix and perfect to complement the warm dishes on the table.
This year, I tried to make my own version of the classic.
It can be made in many ways, but the must-have main ingredients are apple and pork (or bacon). Some like the apples in slices, with the crispy pork on top. Others prefer the softer version like here, where everything is well mixed together. I used bacon in mine, as I’m not too fond of pork, but if you think pork belongs in it, just use that!
My version of the classic is very simple but really good. The tart apples cooked with the sweet sugar and mixed with the salty and crispy – it’s just excellent and perfect on top of a good piece of bread.
