Gloria's Raisen Pork

or you can use Chicken

2lbs Meat (Pork or Chicken)
4c. Salsa
1c. Raisins
1/2c. Dark Brown Sugar
Salt, Pepper, Garlic

You can use different cuts of meat for this recipe. Most commonly we use boneless Pork meat (Spareribs) but you can still use the spareribs with bone in as well. Same with Chicken, you can use breast meat cut into bite size pieces or a whole cut up fryer or just leg and thighs.

First brown meat with spices. While meat is browning, Microwave raisins in a little water, to soften. Then liquefy in blender to make a smooth mixture. Combine raisins, salsa (see Blender Salsa recipe)and brown sugar (I like to use DARK brown sugar because it has a richer flavor but you can use reg brown sugar as well). When meat is browned add sauce mixture and let simmer until meat is tender, approx 30mins. Simmer longer for meat with bone in.

Serve with Spanish Rice. It's also great with whole pinto beans or refried beans and tortillas.

This is one of my and Mike's favorites!
