Pork Rib Roast with Apple-Cherry Stuffing
Ingredients
  • PORK RIB ROAST
  • 1
    9 - 10 pound pork rib roast (10 ribs), bones frenched if desired
  • Kosher salt
  • Ground black pepper
  • 3/4
    cup chicken broth
  • 1/2
    cup dried tart red cherries, snipped dried apricots, and/or dried cranberries
  • 1/2
    cup sliced celery (1 stalk)
  • 1/3
    cup chopped onion (1 small)
  • 2
    tablespoons butter
  • 4
    cups dry sourdough bread cubes*
  • 1
    cup chopped apple (1 medium)
  • 1
    teaspoon snipped fresh sage or fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried sage or dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1/8
    teaspoon ground black pepper
  • CHERRY SAUCE (OPTIONAL)
  • 3/4
    cup cherry preserves
  • 2
    tablespoons red wine vinegar
Directions

1. PORK RIB ROAST: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Trim fat from roast. Place roast, meaty side up, in a shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Insert an oven-going meat thermometer into center of roast. Thermometer should not touch bones. Roast for 1 1/2 hours. Drain off fat.

2. Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl microwave broth for 1 to 2 minutes or until hot. Add dried fruit. Let stand for 5 minutes. Do not drain. In a small skillet cook celery and onion in hot butter until tender. In a large bowl toss together bread cubes, apple, sage, and the 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Add dried fruit mixture and celery mixture. Toss gently to moisten. (If desired, for a moister stuffing, add an additional 1/4 cup chicken broth.)

3. Loosely pack stuffing beside the roast. Roast for 30 to 45 minutes more or until a meat thermometer in roast registers from 145 degrees F to 155 degrees F. Cover with foil; let stand for 15 minutes. (The temperature of the roast will rise 5 degrees to 10 degrees during standing.) Serve stuffing with roast. To serve, slice roast between ribs. If desired, pass Cherry Sauce.

4. CHERRY SAUCE (optional): In a small bowl stir together cherry preserves and red wine vinegar.

From the Test Kitchen
  • Make Ahead Tip Prepare sourdough bread cubes as directed. Place in a storage container. Seal; let stand at room temperature for up to 48 hours. If desired, prepare Cherry Sauce as directed. Place in a storage container. Seal; chill for up to 24 hours. To serve, prepare roast as directed. In a small saucepan, heat Cherry Sauce until warm. Serve Cherry Sauce with roast.
  • Tip *TEST KITCHEN TIP:To make dry bread cubes, preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Cut enough sourdough bread slices into 1/2-inch cubes to yield 4 cups bread cubes. Spread cubes in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until cubes are dry, stirring twice; cool. (Cubes will continue to dry and crisp as they cool.) Or, let bread cubes stand loosely covered at room temperature for 8 to 12 hours.
