INGREDIENTS

=== PORK LOIN ===
15 Dried prunes, pitted
12 Dried apricots, pitted
3 lb Pork loin, with almost all
The visible fat removed
1/4 t Freshly-ground black pepper
or to taste
1 t Salt, or to taste
=== SAUCE ===
1 c Dry white wine
1 c Chicken stock, fresh or
canned
Pan drippings from above
Reserved prunes and apricots
With juice from above
1 T Cornstarch, optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Cover the prunes with water, bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, add
the apricots and let cool. Drain and reserve the liquid. With a sharp
knife make slits the length of the pork loin. Rub the roast with salt
and pepper and insert one-half of the cooked prunes and apricots in
the slits. Tie up the meat into a roast. Insert a meat thermometer.
Place the meat on a roasting rack in a pan and place 1 cup of water  in
the bottom of the pan. Additional water may be needed to prevent
drying. Roast in a preheated 325-degree oven for 1-1/2 to 1-3/4  hours.
Remove the meat when the thermometer registers 155 degrees.  While
roast is cooking, place all sauce ingredients in a small  saucepan and
bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes. Puree in a food  blender until
smooth. Return the sauce to the pan. Bring to a simmer  before serving.
You may want to thicken the sauce with 1 tablespoon  cornstarch
dissolved in 2 tablespoons water, stirred into the sauce  while it is
simmering.  Comments: This is another dish offered in the home of my
Swedish  friend Joanne Klein. She is a terrific cook and adds dried
fruits to  get the characteristic sweet Swedish flavor of this dish.
