Directions:Danish Pork Roast with Apples and Prunes is also known as Flaeskesteg med AEbler og Svedsker
For this type Danish Pork Roast, you will need to find a butcher who will provide a pork roast with the fat "rind" left on the meat. It is this "crackling" that makes the roast a very Danish specialty!
With a sharp knife, "score" the pork "rind" close cut slits.
Add enough water to cover the bottom of a roasting pan.
Place the roast with the rind side down (in the water) in the pan.
Bake with the rind-side down at 400º for about 25-30 minutes.
Turn the meat over so that the fat-side is now up.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and return to the oven.
Lower the heat to 350º. Roast until the meat is tender and the pork "rind " on top is crisp like a potato chip
(approximately 1½ hours)
Peel and quarter the apples and poach in lightly sweetened water.
(Apples can be poached in 1 quart water and 1 cup sugar for about 10 minutes.)
Serve the roast with the apples, cooked prunes, red cabbage and potatoes |
