How to make it
- Place dried fruits in a bowl of boiling water for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile: toss pork cubes in flour/nutmeg, salt and pepper mixture until well coated.
- Heat oil in dutch oven. Fry pork, a few cubes at a time until well browned. Add 3 cups stock or water, bake until fruit is done soaking. Drain fruit and add to Pork with additional water if needed.
- Cover and continue baking 30-45 minutes more, or until pork and fruit are tender.
- Add lemon juice to sauce. Taste to adjust seasonings.
- Stew can be refridgerated 3 days or frozen.
- To finish, reheat stew on stove top. Remove from heat and add butter, shaking pan so butter melts and mixes into sauce.
