EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Be sure to purchase the correct cut of pork for this stew. The shoulder roast is a tough cut of pork that needs to be braised, or cooked slowly in liquid, to become tender. If you use a cut that’s already tender, such as a pork loin roast, braising will make it tough and dry.

If you like, you can substitute 3 carrots for the parsnips.

Well, I've never written a review before, but felt that I needed to this time. Unfortunately, this recipe did not go over well with ANYONE in my family. It's just not good, in fact, it's pretty bad. After tasting, we dumped the whole stew and I've had to endure jokes and teasing from may way too funny family all weekend. Anyway, I'm on to trying another Betty Crocker slow cooker recipe, which I'm sure will be just delicious. This review if only my opinion, so try it. To each his own!

I have this in my crockpot cooking now. It smells wonderful. I'm putting this in the fridge before I add the apples, I'm adding them in tomorrow afternoon and cook till heated through. Can't wait! I'm giving this four based on smell.
