~@~

(I've also used 1 3/4 cup mixed dried fruit which adds apples and apricots)

Directions

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 bakig 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.
