Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the raisins, prunes and apricots in a small bowl; pour in the brandy. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until hot, about 2 minutes. Set aside until the dried fruit is plump, at least 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and apple and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, parsley, sage, 1 teaspoon rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the garlic is softened, about 1 minute. Add the dried fruit?brandy mixture and cook until the skillet is dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and simmer until the mixture is very soft and the skillet is almost dry, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Push the handle of a wooden spoon into the center of one end of the pork roast; work the handle through the length of the roast to create a tunnel, widening the tunnel with your fingers or a small paring knife until about 1 1/2 inches wide.
- Stuff the dried fruit mixture into the tunnel, firmly pressing to make sure it?s packed into the pork roast. Rub the outside of the pork roast with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. If the pork has a skinny flap that runs along one side, tuck it under and tie kitchen twine around the pork in a few spots.
- Set a rack in a large roasting pan. Place the pork on the rack and roast until golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Let the pork rest at least 20 minutes before slicing.

DADS DRIED FRUIT STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN
Steps:
- Reconstitute the dried fruit by simmering in 8 cups water. Cook the fruit gently until soft, about an hour. Add water if required during cooking. When the fruit is done, the liquid should be about ½ cup or so. Cut fruit into ¾ to ½ inch pieces. Add the fruit back to the liquid. Add 4 tablespoons butter, garlic, vinegar, and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer five minutes, stirring frequently. Let cool. Strain, reserving juice. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butterfly the tenderloins by slicing lengthwise down to ½ inch from the bottom through thickest part. Then at the bottom, slice left and right at a ninety degree angle to within ½ inch of sides. Open meat flat. Place fruit down the center of each piece of meat, enough to make about a ¾ inch "round rod" of fruit. Lay two slices of bacon on the fruit, tucking under fruit at ends. Bring up the meat sides to close. Place a slice of bacon over opening, centered between the ends. Wrap a slice of bacon around each end of tenderloin, the top ends overlapping the center slice. Tie roast at one inch intervals. In three tablespoons of oil, brown the meat in a cast iron frying pan. Place the pan in the oven with the opening side of the meat up and cook until done, 170 degrees on a meat thermometer. Baste occasionally with the pan juices. During cooking, remove any fruit pieces that do leak out if they start to burn. Remove meat to a resting plate. Add the reserved fruit juice, broth, and wine to the pan to make a sauce. Cook to reduce by ¼, scrapping up any brown bits from the bottom. Add ½ the remaining fruit. Simmer five minutes. Whisk in two tablespoons cold butter. Remove twine from meat. Place meat on a serving platter. Pour any juices in the resting plate in the sauce and stir. Slice meat at one inch intervals, keeping slices together and fanned out slightly. Spoon a little of the sauce over the meat. Surround the meat with the remaining fruit. Serve sauce on the side
BACON-WRAPPED ROAST PORK LOIN STUFFED WITH DRIED FRUIT
This impressive dish sounds far more complicated than it is. The oven does most of the work. Don't forget the sauce: the tang of the Dijon cream sauce is a welcome counter to the sweetness of the brandied fruit. Add a green salad (maybe some red potatoes?) and you have the perfect Sunday supper.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, warm, but do not boil, the brandy. Place the fruit in a small bowl, cover with the brandy and soak for 20 minutes. Drain, reserving the brandy, and coarsely chop the fruit. Return the fruit to the bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon of the sage and 1/2 teaspoon of the thyme and season it lightly with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the pork on a work surface. Using a long, round metal or wooden skewer about 3/4-inch thick, pierce a channel through the center of the loin. Stuff the fruit into the channel, using the skewer to pack it in. Season the loin lightly with salt and pepper and drape the bacon slices over it.
- Use butcher's twine to tie the roast. Place the roast in a roasting pan fitted with a rack and roast for 15 minutes. Lower the heat to 350 degrees and continue to roast until the pork is cooked but, when poked with a knife, the juices at the center still run slightly pink, about 1 hour more. Transfer the roast to a serving platter and allow to rest, covered, for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, remove the rack and place the roasting pan on top of the stove over medium heat. Add the shallots to the pan juices and cook, stirring, until they are softened, about 3 minutes. Add the reserved brandy and the wine and simmer until reduced by half. Whisk in the cream and mustard and continue to simmer until slightly thickened.
- To serve, remove the twine from the roast, slice and serve with the cream sauce.
