Crown Pork Roast With Apple-Cranberry Stuffing

• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried sage leaves
• 1 pork crown roast (14 ribs and about 9 pounds)
• 1/2 cup butter, cubed
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 celery rib, chopped
• 2 medium apples, peeled and chopped
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 8 cups soft whole grain bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup chicken broth

1. Combine the salt, pepper and sage. Place roast, rib ends up, in a large shallow roasting pan; sprinkle with salt mixture. Cover rib ends with foil. Bake, uncovered, at 350u0b0 for 1-1/2 hours.
2. For stuffing, melt butter in a large skillet. Add onion and celery; saute until tender. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in the apples, cranberries, thyme, salt and pepper. Add bread crumbs and toss to coat. Stir in broth.
3. Carefully spoon stuffing into the center of roast. Bake 45-60 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 145°. Transfer to a warm serving platter. Remove foil. Let roast stand for 15 minutes. Cut between ribs to serve.
