Slightly sweet, hearty root vegetables—carrots and potatoes—complement tender chunks of pork in this stew. Lean pork provides nutrients for energy production. The recipe is courtesy of the “Eating for Life” special section in the “Pink Plaid” edition of the Better Homes and Gardens® New Cook Book.

- 2 onions (medium, sliced)
- 1 cup apple (coarsely chopped, 1 medium)
- 1/2 cup celery (coarsely chopped, 1 stalk)
- 3 tablespoons tapioca (quick-cooking)
- 2 cups apple juice (OR apple cider)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon caraway seed
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
