A good friend from Maine has sent us a splendid recipe for a hearty entrée to serve your guests on a wintry evening. A well-prepared loin of pork is tough to beat when it comes to succulent flavor. Our friend Pastor Chuck’s recipe combines the terrific taste of loin of pork with the unrivaled flavor of his organic apple butter.

Pastor Chuck’s organic apple butter is a big step up in flavor from what can typically be found on a store shelf.

The all-natural apple butter is made from apples grown in Pastor Chuck’s organic orchard in Maine.
