Apple Slaw
The sweet-spicy Pink Lady apples complement the tartness of the cherries and the vinaigrette in this slaw, which is a natural companion for pork chops or ham. Cameo, Fuji, or Gala apples will also work well.

We liked this, a fruity change-up and good match to BBQ. But the vinaigrette is too sweet, definitely would recommend you start with half the sugar and add more to taste -- then dress the slaw. We used the dried cherries but can definitely see switching to less-expensive cherry-cranberries.07/09/09

This recipe is great with pork. I couldnt' find broccoli slaw so I simply peeled and chopped broccoli and this worked. Also, my store didn't carry dried cherries or cider vinegar so I replaced the dried cherries with dried cherry flavored cranberries which worked well. I substituted the cider vinegar with one part white wine vinegar and one part apple juice which worked, but I might be able to find a better substitute. Next time I may try sherry vinegar instead if I still can't get cider vinegar. I wouldn't make this recipe to far in advance becasue the apples start to turn pretty fast and it looses a little something.01/13/09
