Free Aprons
BY LOU ANN GOOD
ALBURTIS (Lehigh) Good
news for those who cook. Free bar
becue aprons are being given to
two hundred people who contri
bute a pork recipe to the “Home On
The Range” column of “Lancaster
Farming.”
Pork has changed in recent
years. The state Pork Women’s
Council wants consumers to be
aware of pork’s new image by try
ing new ways with pork. What’s
more convincing than tasting it
when you try some new recipes?
To encourage pork consumption,
the council is giving the aprons to
the first 200 people who submit a
pork recipe to our “Home on the
Range” column.
The aprons are made from high
quality, navy blue cloth featuring a
full-length chef-style stamped
with the logo, “Pork the other
white meat.” They are suitable for
men and women, but are limited to
one per family.
So, dig out your pork recipes.
Whether it is stir-fry, grilled,
broiled or cooked, select one and
send it to “Lancaster Farming Pork
Promotion,” P.O. Box 366, Lititz,
PA 17543. Remember one per
family. Allow eight weeks for your
apron delivery.
The promotion is the brain child
of Darlene Burkholder, the
National Pork Women’s Council
Director and head of state promo
tion. Darlene hails from Alburtis in
Lehigh County. She is a full time
registered nurse who through the
urging of her husband, Stephen,
became involved in the council.
Stephen is a nationally known pork
producer who carries the title of
1988 PA Pork All-American. He
operates a farrow to finish opera
tion of 100 sows. For many years,
he, with other producer friends,
attended the national conventions
held in Des Moines, lowa. His wife
recalls, “He kept begging me to
accompany him.”
When she did, she became
enthusiastically involved in the
organization. “We’ve got to edu
cate the public that pork in no lon
ger considered unhealty,” she said.
“People ruin pork and destroy it by
overcooking. It’s no longer neces
sary to cook pork to death to kill
germs.”
She said that many of her pork
recipes can be cooked within 15
minutes. And she prefers to use
ground pork in place of ground
beef.
Darlene backs up her push for
pork by quoting facts released by
the National Pork Producers
Council.

the animal of 25 years ago.

or less of calorics required for an

•Pork: A nulricni-nch package.
Pork is what many nutritionists
call a “nutrient-dense” food
because it supplies a high amount
of essential nutrients for a relative

source of “heme” iron, the most
readily absorbed form of dietary
iron.
