A simply spectacular main-course. Ask the butcher to grind any pork
trimmings to use in the stuffing. Either hard cider or Pinot Noir
would be delicious alongside.

For pork
1 8-pound crown roast of pork (12 ribs)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried sage
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Apple and Pork Stuffing
1 1/2 cups canned beef broth

For gravy
1 cup apple cider
4 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons applejack brandy or brandy

Make pork:
Position pork atop 9- to 10-inch-diameter tart pan bottom. Transfer to
large rimmed baking sheet. Brush pork with oil. Combine salt, sugar,
thyme, sage and pepper in small bowl. Rub spice mixture over pork.
Cover with plastic and refrigerate overnight.

Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 450¦F. Fill pork
cavity with enough stuffing to mound in center. Cover tips of pork
bones with foil. Roast pork 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325¦F.
Continue roasting until thermometer inserted into center of pork meat
registers 150¦F, about 1 hour 50 minutes. Remove foil from bones.
Continue roasting until thermometer inserted into center of pork and
stuffing registers 155¦F, about 15 minutes longer. Carefully transfer
roast atop tart pan bottom to platter.

Make gravy:
Add 1 cup broth to baking sheet and scrape up browned bits from bottom
of baking sheet. Pour juices into 2-cup glass measuring cup; freeze 15
minutes. Spoon fat off top of pan juices. Transfer pan juices to
medium saucepan. Add remaining 1/2 cup beef broth and apple cider.
Bring to boil. Dissolve cornstarch into applejack in small bowl; whisk
into broth mixture. Boil until gravy thickens slightly, about 3
minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer gravy to sauceboat.

Carve roast between bones to separate chops. Serve with stuffing and
gravy.

Serves 10.
