Make this among your first projects for the evening because the pork loin bakes for nearly two hours. You can also stuff it a day ahead, refrigerate, and then pop it into the oven just before your guests arrive.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork loin turned out tough and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This pork loin was a little dry for my taste, but the apricot stuffing was delicious. I think I would try a different cooking method next time.
