INSTRUCTIONS
opped
Cook rice according to package directions. Set aside. Pour boiling water
over apricots; let stand 20 minutes to soften. Drain. Saute green onions,
mushrooms, and green pepper in butter until tender. Stir in rice, apricots,
pecans, parsley, and seasonings. Remove strings and slice roast in half
lengthwise, if not purchased sliced. Slice pork pieces lengthwise in half
again, slicing to but not through one side. Lay pieces side by side, and
spoon stuffing mixture evenly over pork. Beginning with 1 long side, roll
pork jellyroll fashion, and tie securely with heavy string at 2 inch
intervals. Place roast on a lightly greased rack in a shallow roasting
pan. Place bacon lengthwise over roast. Insert meat thermometer into
thickest part of roast, making sure it does not touch fat or stuffing.
Place an aluminum foil tent over roast. Bake at 325F for 3 hours or until
meat thermometer registers 160F (30-35 minutes per pound). Remove foil for
the last 30-40 minutes of baking. Remove roast from oven; let stand 5
minutes.
Remove string; slice and garnish with apricot halves and parsley, if
desired. Yield: 12 to 15 servings. From Southern Living Cookbook
