I got this recipe from a neighbor of mine about 20 years ago and just recently resurrected it. I made it recently for a dinner party and got rave reviews. Not only is it really delicious but it makes a very nice presentation. It goes really well with the Sweet Potato Cranberry Crumble recipe that I also posted. Hope you'll try this one. I know you'll love it.

How To Make stuffed pork loin

  • 1
    Place prunes and bourbon in a bowl and let soak for 1 hour.
  • 2
    Saute onion, apple, garlic and thyme in butter in large skillet for 3-5 minutes.
  • 3
    Remove from heat and stir in prunes.
  • 4
    Add stuffing mix, 2 Tbps. marmalade and 1/8 tsp. pepper.
  • 5
    Remove twine from pork roast and open. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 6
    Pat the stuffing over the bottom part of the pork and then place the top on. Tie the roast with kitchen twine approx 1 inch apart. Secure the ends either with wooden skewers or by tieing the twine lengthwise, to prevent the stuffing from falling out. (NOTE: You'll probably have left over stuffing.)
  • 7
    Place the roast, fat side up, in a large roasting pan. Pour remaining apple juice concentrate over roast and add a 1/4 C. water to pan.
  • 8
    Roast at 375 degreees for approx 2 hours until 160 degrees.
  • 9
    Baste occasionally with pan drippings and add extra water and apple juice concentrate to pan if necessary to prevent scorching.
  • 10
    Let roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing into 1/2 - 1 inch slices.
  • 11
    Skim fat off of pan drippings and make your usual gravy.
