There's a reason that pictures and drawings of pigs roasting often show a tart apple between the poor swine's gums; pork and apple just go together. We could probably delve into the chemistry of why, with a few spreadsheets and charts, but for what? You can taste the goodness for yourself, with the apple butter and pork medallions seasoned with cinnamon and chipotle tangoing on your tongue. Roast beets and carrots garnished with tangy goat cheese only enhance the flavors, sealing the argument that pork and apple deserve their dynamic duo reputation. Tip: To peel the carrot with less effort, lay it down on your cutting board peel one half, rolling it as you peel. (Be sure to peel in a motion away from you!)
