The apple cider not only adds flavor but helps tenderize the pork while it cooks.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

I thought this was extremely delicious, I would have liked it a bit thicker, I like to serve stew on a bed of white rice. I'll definitely be making this again, though next time I think I'll try using a roux as the thickening agent instead of flour-water.

Great recipe. I cooked it on high for 5 and a half hours. The recipe instructions didn't state to mix it up, but we did. It was pretty easy to make, but lots of cutting. I might try using baby carrots next time. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe!
