Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 2h

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 pounds boned, rolled and tied pork loin, halved crosswise
1 cup pitted prunes, quartered
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
Freshly ground pepper to taste
16 slices bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Run a skewer lengthwise through the center of one of the pork halves. Remove the skewer and insert a fork handle into one end of the pork, in the hole created by the skewer. Twist the fork around to enlarge the hole enough to insert the prunes. Repeat at the other end. Push half of the prunes into the hole until a line of prunes runs the length of the pork. Repeat with other pork half.
  • Rub the mustard all over the pork and season generously with pepper. Wrap the bacon around the pork and place in a large roasting pan. Roast until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees, about 1 1/2 hours. Let stand for 10 minutes before carving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

This recipe reminds me of the pork roast my mother used to make. The bacon and prunes add such a nice flavor to the dish. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the sauce was perfect for spooning over the pork and potatoes.
