Fried Star Anise and Granny Smith Apple for Pork Roast

OK - this was divine and delish. Cut up 1/2 a star anise into nice strips, peel, slice, and chop e 2 Granny Smith Apples, and add to a frying pan with a tbsp. of butter, and a tbsp. of oil, 1 tbsp. chopped garlic and fry up on medium heat until gorgeously coated with glistening fat and becomes nice and soft, but barely crisp. Add, part way in between, 1/8th of a cup of apple cider vinegar and keep on fryin' baby. Once completed to your liking - turn off the element and put into a nice little serving bowl to put over pork roast. Fabulous!!!!!!!
