Apple Baked Pork Chops

8 thick loin porkchops

1 onion

3 apples

salt & pepper

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup water

 

 

Trim excess fat from porkchops. Brown slowly in a skillet.

Place porkchops in large baking dish. Slice onion and place on top of chops. Add thick slices of apples (leave skin on), covering chops. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Add 1/4 cup of water, cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Remove from oven and serve

Roast Turkey

Stuff and truss turkey; brush skin with cooking fat. Place breast up on a rack in a shallow open pan. Cover turkey with fat-moistened cheesecloth, large enough to cover top and drape down on all sides. Place in preheated oven, 235 degrees F. Do not sear; do not add water; do not cover. Basting is unnecessary, but if cloth dries during cooking, moisten it with drippings in pan. When meat thermometer registers 190 degrees F. (20 minutes before turkey should be done) test for doneness. Press fleshy part of drumstick between fingers; meat should feel very soft; or move drum-stick up and down; it should move readily or twist out of joint.
