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
-
1Place prunes and bourbon in a bowl and let soak for 1 hour.
-
2Saute onion, apple, garlic and thyme in butter in large skillet for 3-5 minutes.
-
3Remove from heat and stir in prunes.
-
4Add stuffing mix, 2 Tbps. marmalade and 1/8 tsp. pepper.
-
5Remove twine from pork roast and open. Season with salt and pepper.
-
6Pat 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.)
-
7Place 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.
-
8Roast at 375 degreees for approx 2 hours until 160 degrees.
-
9Baste occasionally with pan drippings and add extra water and apple juice concentrate to pan if necessary to prevent scorching.
-
10Let roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing into 1/2 - 1 inch slices.
-
11Skim fat off of pan drippings and make your usual gravy.
