Ingredients

4½-5 lb boned loin of pork center cut

12 med size pitted prunes

1 large tart apple

1 tsp lemon juice

salt & pepper

3 T butter

3 T oil

3/4 c dry white wine

3/4 c heavy cream

1 T red currant jelly

Directions

Preheat oven to 350.

Place prunes into saucepan. Cover with cold water. Bring to boil, then remove from heat. Allow prunes to soak for 30 minutes, then drain.

Slice the apple into 1 inch cubes. Add lemon juice and mix thoroughly to prevent discoloration.

Mix prunes and apples together.

Make a pocket in the roast by slicing a deep slit along one side, starting from within 1 inch of one end and slicing to within 1 inch of the other end.

Stuff roast with prune-apple mix. Season roast with pepper. (no salt yet) Tie securely at 1 inch intervals so it will keep its shape during cooking.

In an oven-proof, stovetop-safe casserole equipped with a cover, and just large enough to hold the roast, melt butter and oil. Brown roast on all sides, including ends, using 2 wooden spoons to turn it from time to time. Browning should take about 20 minutes.

Using a bulb baster or large spoon, remove excess fat from pan, leaving juices.

Pour white wine and cream over the roast. Cover, and roast 1.5 hours at 350, or until done per meat thermometer.

Remove roast from oven. Remove roast to heated platter and cover while making sauce.

Skim fat from pan juices. Bring to boil over high heat. Boil until reduced to 1 cup. Add jelly. Reduce heat and continue boiling, stirring, until smooth. Taste for seasoning. Pour into heated sauceboat.

Carve roast carefully into 1 inch slices. Each slice will consist of a round of pork with apples and prunes in the center. Sprinkle lightly with salt just before serving. Pass sauce separately.

This sounds so delicious and earthy! I would never have thought to try the prunes, but I bet they offer a really rich base to this. Can't wait to try it.
