Title: Fresh Pork Pot Roast with Dumplings
Yield: 6 Servings
Categories: Pork, Ham

Ingredients:

1/2 Fresh pork leg or shoulder;
-about 5 lbs.
2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Dried thyme
1 lg Bay leaf; crushed
Dumplings


Trim excess fat from the meat. Rub meat with mixture of salt, thyme and
bayleaf. Refrigerate 2 hours.

Brown meat in the fat trimmings in heavy deep pan or Dutch oven. Add water
to depth of 2". Cover, and simmer on top of the range until well done (20
to 25 minutes per pound). Add more water if needed.

Remove meat from pan; set aside, keeping it warm. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

GRAVY: Skim fat from drippings. Measure 3/4 c. drippings into pan; stir in
1/2 cup flour; cook until bubbly. Stir in 4 c. water to make thin gravy;
season with salt and pepper; simmer about 5 minutes.

DUMPLINGS: sift together 1 1/2 c. sifted flour, 2 tsp. baking powder, 3/4
tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp. ground sage. Cut in 3 tblsp shortening. Combine 1
egg, slightly beaten, and 2/3 c. milk; stir in dry ingredients until all
are moistened. Drop by spoonfuls into boiling gravy. Cover; cook 15 minutes
without lifting the lid. Serve with sliced meat and gravy.

NOTES : My book says this is man approved, and that is the truth. I use any
pork roast I have in the freezer and I always serve chunky applesauce as an
accompaniment to the meal.
