directions
- combine oj, alcohol of your choice (pepper is optional. I did not use salt so it is up to you.
- Add cinnamon (I probably used more than a tbsp but most people would prefer to make the marinade and decide for themselves.
- For stuffing combine the following.
- Combine apple juice with rice and diced appricots (raisons or any dried fruit would work as well and cook according to directions for rice.
- it actually cooks a lot faster than normal due to the quantity, so check it after 10 minutes, or double it for left overs and use the recipe directions on your rice container.
- Butterfly pork and add stuffing. Tie with cooking string, and wrap in tin foil if you wish. It just makes less of a mess and it is still browned.
- Put in flavour wave machine setting 400 degrees.I stuffed mine really full so it took 40 minutes double the 20 minites they say for pork, but I stuffed it so that would take longer, as well I opened it up a couple of times because I did not have a recipe (since I just used what I had around.
- I would suggest checking it after 20 minute since depending on the amount of stuffing and where you placed the rack (I used the 4" which cooks more slowly.
- Let rest for 5 to q0 minutes with foii removed.
- I served brocolli with sesame seeds on the side.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hi,
I am currently taking my masters in social work, but cooking is my passion. I just would not be able to stand the hours working in a restaurant. I would never see my husband. So I am an amateur chef. I judge cooking contests like the Canadian national BBQ tournament etc. and love cooking for friends and family. I have a cookbook in process. Who knows if I will ever try to publish it but I will definitely give it as gifts to friends and family. My favourite parties to host are theme parties eg. I Okboberfest, Mexican and Thai etc. I generally do the research and each person can either choose from the recipes I have found or bring one of their own. I like to give the option since a lot of people don't necessarily have any recipes for that particular theme party.
Anyway its fun. I nice break from University and a really good excuse to get together with friends and family.
My other favourite things are gardening, knitting, sports and fitness. I also volunteer for a nursing home working with altzheimers and senile dementia patients, and for big sisters and I work part time for Planned Family Networks matching young adults with mental and / or physical challenges with a network of people they can count on when their parents can no longer take care of them.
FYI This was the only day I've ever had straight hair. It was great while it lasted but I'm not spending an hour staightening it whan I can shower and do practically nothing by leaving it curly.
