Steps

1

Blend the cider, pepper, onion, cinnamon, garlic, thyme, marjoram, juices, salt, and rosemary at low speed. Divide into two portions to prevent overflow from the foam.
2

Melt the butter in the microwave and mix with the oil.
3

In a baking dish or roasting pan, make shallow cuts in the meat without cutting all the way through to keep it intact. Pour the mixture over the meat and brush with the butter. Use your fingers to work the butter into the cuts to ensure it browns and stays juicy. Add 4 apple half-moons. Potatoes can also be used.
4

Bake covered for 30 minutes at 390°F (200°C). Baste with pineapple jam and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.
5

Serve with mashed potatoes and salad.
