Preparation steps

• Cut the pork roast in 3-4 big chunks if possible. Put the flour in a shallow bowl and dredge the pork chunks in the flour. In a large heavy pot, heat 2 Tbsp of butter over medium high, then add the pork and brown on all sides and transfer to the crock pot or stew pot. Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp of butter in the pot, then add the onion, celery, and carrots and cook, stirring, for about 2 min until softened.
• Using a spatula, scrape all the onions, celery, and carrots from the pan into the crock or stew pot. Add the apple, prunes, sage, wine, salt, and pepper and just enough stock to cover then ingredients. (Be generous with the pepper if you want some spice to complement the sweetness).
• Cook for 6 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low in a crock pot, or simmer on low, covered, in a stew pot about 4 hours.
• Break or cut the pork roast into individual servings (it should practically fall from the bone), and serve by placing over mashed potatoes, couscous, or rice with a healthy spoonful of the fruits, vegetables and sauce.
