Smithfield Partners with Stemilt Growers for Apple and Pork Recipe e-book

Smithfield has partnered with Stemilt Growers, a leading tree fruit growing, packing and shipping company, to create a digital recipe book to celebrate the sweet and savory combination of fresh pork and apples. The “Apples & Fresh Pork: Creative Recipes for this Classic Pairing” e-book, which includes a variety of entrée recipes featuring Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork and in-season Stemilt apples, is available for free download at Stemilt.com.

The recipes, developed by Smithfield Corporate Chef Frank Dominguez, celebrate the classic flavor combination of pork and apples, while putting a fresh, new twist on the traditional duo. All recipes can be prepped in 15 minutes or less and include dishes perfect for any holiday occasion, such as Pork Chops with Apples and Maple Gravy, BBQ Bacon Apple Pork Explosion, and Cornbread Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin.

“We are excited to partner with Smithfield, the leading brand in fresh pork, on this new e-book and provide consumers with new inspiration for holiday or weeknight meals,” says Brianna Shales, Stemilt communications manager. “Our brands are both committed to flavor and quality, making this a natural partnership. Using Smithfield fresh pork alongside Stemilt apples is a great way to ensure every pork and apple recipe consumers create is a success.”

“At Smithfield, we’re always looking for simple and delicious recipes that families can get on the table in no time,” says Emily Detwiler, senior brand manager of fresh pork marketing for Smithfield. “Fresh Pork and apples really are a perfect match and we’re thrilled to join Stemilt to offer even more ways for consumers to enjoy Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork any night of the week.”

Stemilt and Smithfield are promoting the e-book on their social channels, and through the brands’ respective consumer databases. Stemilt also has the e-book featured across its newly designed consumer website, Stemilt.com to make it easy for consumers to download.
