• 5 lb crown pork roast - smaller roasts wont have the bones in
  
• 2 cups chopped cranberries
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 onions, chopped
• 2 cups chopped celery
• 2 tbsp Midwestern Garden Radish
• 8 cups  cornbread croutons
• 2 apple - peeled, cored, and chopped
• 1/2 cup apple juice
• 1 egg

Preheat oven to 375 F . Season pork roast with 1 tbsp Midwestern Garden Radish, then place on a rack in an open roasting pan, rib ends down. Bake for 2 hours. Roast will be only partially cooked. Combine cranberries and sugar and mix well; set aside. Melt butter or margarine in a large skillet, add onions and celery and saute until tender. Add cranberry mixture, remaining Pork Roast Seasoning, bread cubes, apples, apple juice, and egg. Toss well. After the two hours, remove roast from oven. Turn rib ends up and fill cavity with cranberry/apple stuffing. Insert meat thermometer between two ribs in the thickest part of the meat, making sure that end of thermometer does not touch any bone. Return stuffed roast to oven and continue roasting for about 1 1/2 hours or until internal temperature of meat reaches 175 F. (If stuffing becomes too brown, cover it with aluminum foil.)
