Method

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place meat on rack in roasting pan. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper. Pour wine over it and put a dab of butter on sides. Cover and bake 2 hours. In a bowl, place the sweet potatoes, apples and pineapple. In a saucepan, combine remaining butter, the brown sugar, cinnamon and the 1/2 cup reserved pineapple juice. Heat until butter melts, then pour over mixture in bowl, tossing gently to coat. Spoon around and over roast; cover and bake about 1/2 hour more or to 155 degrees internal temperature. Bake uncovered for a few minutes to brown. Remove from oven; transfer roast and solids to serving platter. Let stand about 10 minutes; garnish with parsley. Pass pan juices. (If desired, place pan juices in saucepan and cook, uncovered, to thicken slightly before passing.)

 

Notes: This is easy and delicious with the flavors of the apple, pineapple and sweet potato. On a Christmas serving platter, with the trimming around it, it really makes an appealing Christmas entree.

 

Number of Servings: 6-8
