Actually, pork and apples are a very common pairing and go together very well, a stew with them isn't out of the ordinary. What I think is out of the ordinary is the v8, pepsi, and half cup of sugar added to this - if he had increased the salty and umami the apple alone is plenty sweet to complement the stew in nice little bursts of an interesting flavor.

Yup. I've made a killer pork stew with apples in it before.

[@can-i-go-now]

I agree I would used tarter apples if he was using so much sugar if not those apple would have worked.

I think Jack doubled up on the sugar because he thought was in the recipe to make it sweet, when it's probably there to help break down the meat and make it softer.

There are a lot of stews that add tomato, its definately for acid and tang. Apple isn's very common, but if it is used in a stew then its usually used with pork and seasoned with some chinese 5 spice blend. I do have a soup recipe that has both apples and pork (no tomato) and it is a hearty yet refreshing dish and can be served hot or cold. The apple is similar to uses of potato, however they are cooked less so theres more of a crunch and it adds a decent sweetness and a little bit of sour (which if you've ever had sweet and sour pork then you get how the flavors can match up). Chinese 5 spice is a really good way of combining the two seemingly opposing flavors together (especially in a soup or less sugary dish in general).

In fact - the only two things that really feel odd to me is the starch and the V8 - the rest might not create your classical 'stew' - but I also don't see a reason for it not tasting fine to be honest... What I don't understand though is him mentioning something about 8 hours?

Never tried Apples in a stew, but apples, pinaples, or other fruits are key ingredients in a lot of curries. Wasn't really a fan of it either, until i tried it. Its very different, but can be awesome. And i think it could be good, in another long simmering dish, like a stew.

[@noneyabusiness6049]

If the ingredients that are use makes sense then yes but in jack case he just desrepect the meat,fruit, vegetable,and every other things he's been adding.

Apples are great in stews

[@Lilas.Duveteux]

Some pork dishes do use apples, either to stuff the meat, sometimes a smaller piglet or a large muscle of a grown pig, it can accompany japanese curries to balence out the spiciness and one can use it in pies as a texture inhensor (apples, especially tart ones contain a lot of pectin). But of course, it's not a meat pie, curry, nor a stuffed roast. If he would have put meat and veggies, and nothing else, everything would be more or less fine as long as properly cooked. The vegetables usually contain enough moisture on their own, especially tomatoes, to form the sauce without the need for the huge addition of liquids, especially if he forgoes the potatoes. The pepsi, sugar, beef base, caned soup and soup mixt are very much unecessary. If he plans to plop it into the oven, then I would not recommand putting cornstarch at all, since cornstarch is useful in pan sauces. The Westershire sauce is a perfectly fine addition to his list of ingredients, and salt and pepper are also perfectly fine and even recommanded, and the tomato juice can add some wanted moisture. Also, he had so much packaged stuff. I think Jack might have a dissorder regarding his taste buds.

[@Zakading]

Bro for real apples in some stuff like a stew absolutely slap. Their sweetness and tartness adds so much depth to those things and works so well with the sweetness of carrots.

Actually, there are stews that use fruits and yes, soda- or even beer. In Spain and here in the Philippines, we have stews that use beer or Sprite in order to add flavor and help with softening the meat. It gets lost in the soup itself, so you can't distinguish it from the other ingredients. Another dish we have here is ribs with a special sauce made with Coke, and another version of the dish is made with strawberries.

Truly one of the best things Jack's ever made; pork and apple stew is a thing that can taste really good. What ruins it is the can of Pepsi (pure sugar, dear god) and the massive amount of V8, to the point that all this is gonna taste like is sweetened V8. It's still top-tier for Jack, though. Before he added those two things, if he'd just gone with more stock (personally for pork stews I like to do a mix of beef and chicken)... this would've been downright decent to good.

Cola ribs, apples in stew, fruit in salad... these are some pretty standard culinary concepts. Not that I am defending Jack or this soup/stew, but August seems to be concerned about the wrong things. Tomatoes in stew is also great, but you aren't usually just applying raw ingredients to a singular pan and throwing it in the oven.

[@TrackerRoo]

It's more the that August was concerned about all those things being in the same pan together. Which I can totally agree with. It's like he went to the store, grabbed everything and threw it into a baking pan together. Some of those things work together, but not everything in that pan works. How Jack has had a cooking channel for 15 years and learned nothing is beyond me.
