EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Be sure to purchase the correct cut of pork for this stew. The shoulder roast is a tough cut of pork that needs to be braised, or cooked slowly in liquid, to become tender. If you use a cut that’s already tender, such as a pork loin roast, braising will make it tough and dry.

If you like, you can substitute 3 carrots for the parsnips.

Really enjoyed this stew. Don't see that many pork stews or ones containing fruit - so a refreshing change! I will definitely make it again, but would cut up the pork in slightly larger pieces. Also, didn't have cider on hand, so increased the chicken broth and used 1/4 cup of cider vinegar instead and it worked very well. All 4 picky family members really enjoyed it.

This stew took some getting used to since I had never cooked with a lot of these ingredients before, but it really is delicious! My best advice, don't tell people what is in it. People liked it until they knew the ingredients.
