Pork and Sweet Potato Stew

I debated whether or not to post this recipe. Objectively, it's good. Honestly though, it wasn't at all what I was craving this week, so I chose to cook more food rather than finishing off the leftovers. I was worried the dish would end up being too sweet, but it worked well in the end.

I couldn't find apple-cranberry juice, so I substituted blood orange, pomegranate, cranberry juice. I also used canola oil in place of the olive oil.
