Crown Roast of Pork

I crown of pork

Steamed apples

Cubes of salt pork

Salt and pepper

Mashed potatoes

Cranberries

Select ribs of a young pig and have the butcher make a crown, like a crown roast of lamb or mutton. Cover the tip of each bone with salt pork. Roast as spareribs are roasted, and serve with mashed potatoes inside the crown and a border of bright red steamed apples as a garnish. The apples should be of uniform size and steamed, rather than baked, to preserve their color. Remove the cubes of salt pork and cap each bone with a large cranberry, or with a paper frill.
