Normandy Pork

Tonight's dinner is in the slow cooker already, I'm doing my take on Normandy pork.  I got some pork shoulder steaks out of the freezer last night and I did wonder whether to do an easy steak new potatoes option but thought come on Claire you can do better than that!  

So I've fried off smoky bacon (bought by mistake) and onions and two apples, I've added a few sliced new potatoes and two large carrots. 

I sliced three cloves of garlic (just cos I love garlic) and added that.  

Thrown in some fresh thyme.

Season with salt and pepper.

Added about 400 ml of homemade cider (a practice last year, not sure if it's any good!!!).

Added a bit of apple juice for some sweetness.

I browned the meat a little and place on top of everything above.  Leaving in the slow cooker till I need it about 5.30 pm.

I may add some cream at the end once I've tasted.
