This is a recipe I have had for many years.
Works well with a single or double pork loin
or my favourite – a rack of pork.

 

The roast is Stuffed with Prunes and Apricots.

I don’t normally like fruit with meat, but this is one of my few exceptions.

 

Stuffed Loin/Rack of Pork

NOTES:  I  have had this recipe for many years.  Can’t remember where it came from.  Might have been from a local Toronto Newspaper or one of the many Cooking Magazines from the 1980’s.
