Ingredients

4 pounds boneless pork loin, prepared for stuffing
1 cup dried pitted prunes
1 cup dried apricots
1 garlic clove
Salt & pepper to taste
1 stick sweet butter, softened
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 cup Madeira wine
1 tablespoon molasses

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Using the long handle of a wooden spoon, push the dried fruit into the pocket in the roast, alternating the fruits.
Cut the garlic into thin slivers. Make deep slits in the roast with tip of a knife and push the garlic into the slits.
Tie the roast with twine and rub surface with salt and pepper.
Set the roast in a shallow baking pan and smear the butter over the roast. Sprinkle with thyme.
Stir Madeira and molasses together in a small bowl and pour over roast. Set the pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake approximately 1 1/2 hours, basting often (approximately 20 minutes per pound).
When done, let stand, loosely covered with foil about 15 minutes. Cut thin slices and spoon pan juices over them.

This dish is a showstopper! The pork loin was roasted to perfection and the fruit stuffing was bursting with flavor. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a hit with my guests. I will definitely be making this dish again.

I made a few changes to the recipe, such as using a different type of fruit and adding some herbs to the stuffing. The dish turned out great! The pork was moist and tender, and the stuffing was flavorful and aromatic.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork turned out dry and tough. The fruit stuffing was also bland. I'm not sure what went wrong.
