Ingredients

  • 1 lbs Ontario pork shoulder blade roast boneless, about 3 (1.5 kg)
  • 1 tsp salt 5 mL
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper 5 mL
  • 1 small head red cabbage cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 green apple cored and diced
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar 125 mL
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar 125 mL
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds 5 mL

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 325°F (160°C). Season pork with pepper and roast for 1 hour on a baking tray or dish.
  • Combine all remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Place pork in a large oven-proof casserole or Dutch oven; add red cabbage mixture, cover and place in the oven.
  • Braise, stirring cabbage once or twice, the internal temperature of pork has reached 170°F (77°C), 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Shoulder cuts can be cooked to a higher final internal temperature due to their generous fat content which bastes the meat naturally as it cooks and becomes tender.
  • Remove pork and cover. Stir the red cabbage thoroughly over medium heat for three or four minutes.
  • Allow pork to rest for about 10 minutes before serving. Slice thinly and serve with braised red cabbage.
