Sandie picked number 42. (Of course you did. Thanks Sandie!) Number 42 was...

"Cranberry-Apricot Pork Roast with Potatoes" (6 quart pot)

~3lbs pork loin roast
~4 potatoes, peeled and quartered
~1 (14 oz) can whole-berry cranberry sauce
~1 (15 oz) can apricot halves, drained
~1 onion, quartered
~1/2 dried apricots
~1 T sugar
~1/2 t ground mustard
~1/4 t cayenne pepper

Cut roast in half.
Place potatoes in crock pot.
Add pork.
In a blender, combine cranberry sauce, apricots, onion, dried apricots, sugar, mustard, and cayenne and process for 30 seconds or until almost smooth. (We have only a Magic Bullet, so I had to do this in batches.)
Pour over pork.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or until meat is tender.
Remove pork and potatoes.
Serve with cooking juices. (The card says to put it in a pitcher. Instead, I just ladled some on top of our servings.

8 servings.

I tasted the "smoothie" before I poured it over everything and it was awesome. Oniony, but delicious. I knew this was going to be a good one. It doesn't photograph well, but I promise it's really good. REALLY good. Yay for leftovers.

(And yay for a newborn bouncing bound to be geeky baby girl! Happy birthday, Elyse!)
