Apple-onion Sauce For Pork Recipe

Apple-onion Sauce For Pork

From lindabtx 15 years ago

A wonderful savory, slightly sweet sauce for pork, but it is so good I could eat it as a side dish.

Saute onions in canola oil until they start to get tender and then add the apples and continue to saute until the apples begin to soften. If the apples are very crisp and made for cooking (like Granny Smith) they can be started at the same time as the onions.
Mix the cornstarch with about 1/4 cup of the apple cider and set aside.
Add the remaining 3/4 cup of apple cider and the chicken soup base to the onions and apples. Add the thyme, vinegar and cranberries. Stir well and add more apple cider if most of the liquid is absorbed quickly. How much liquid you want depends on your taste and possibly your use. If you want a lot of liquid, add more cider. If you want a thicker sauce and the liquid is too thin after the onions and apples are almost cooked, add some of the cornstarch slurry to thicken.
Taste for seasoning and add more thyme or vinegar if necessary. Serve and enjoy.

this is very similar to a gravy I saw on the foodtv network and I can't seem to find the recipe. I'm stealing this one to use with my Cider Brined Turkey for Thanksgiving. Thank you so much!!
