Tasty Tuesdays

I've got two very different recipes for you this week, but both I've been experimenting with for the past few days.

The first is a make-it-yourself yogurt recipe. I didn't have a reliable crockpot, so I asked (and received) a yogurt maker for my birthday, and have been using that. However, if you've got a crock pot, then this is definitely a recipe you need to try out!!

Second is something I made up, and when I made it, there was no measuring. I'm guestimating the amounts listed here, so feel free to play around with what I've got listed here.


Blueberry Pork Loin

1 store-bought pork loin (any size, just adjust the cooking time)
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup blueberries (I used frozen, but I would think you could use fresh, you just might want to add some water)
1 tsp each of ground cloves, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon
2 to 3 thickly cut orange slices


glaze: 1 tbsp cornstarch
sugar, to taste (I used about 1 tbsp)
1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Layer orange slices on the bottom of your crockpot. Lay pork on top, and then just dump everything else into the crock pot (not glaze ingredients!). Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is falling apart.

Just before serving, scoop out about 1 cup of the juice/drippings that have accumulated in the crockpot. Cook on low heat to boiling, adding the cornstarch, blueberries, and sugar to taste. Once thickened, serve 1 tbsp at a time, over slices of the pork loin.

Enjoy!
