Steps:
- Make stuffing:
- Simmer apricots, prunes, and Port in a small heavy saucepan, covered, 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 10 minutes.
- Cook onion and shallot in butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add apple and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until apple is just tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in apricot mixture and cool.
- Stuff and roast pork:
- Preheat oven to 500°F with rack in middle.
- Make a pocket in center of roast by making a horizontal 1 1/2-inch-wide cut into 1 end of roast with a long thin knife, repeating from opposite end so pocket runs all the way through. Then make a vertical cut through center (forming a cross) to widen pocket. Push about 1 cup stuffing into pocket using a long-handled wooden spoon (you may need to stuff from both sides if roast is long). Reserve remaining stuffing for sauce.
- Season roast with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and put in a large flameproof roasting pan. Wrap with bacon, between rib bones, tucking ends under roast. Roast pork 20 minutes, then reduce oven to 325°F and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted 2 inches into center of roast (do not touch bone or stuffing) registers 155°F, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours total.
- Transfer roast to a cutting board, reserving pan, and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 15 to 20 minutes. (Temperature of meat will rise to about 160°F; meat will be slightly pink.)
- Make sauce:
- Skim fat from pan drippings and reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons fat. Straddle pan across 2 burners and add Port to drippings, then deglaze pan by boiling over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Strain pan juices through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids.
- Cook shallot in reserved fat in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in pan juices, 1 1/4 cups water, and reserved fruit stuffing and bring to a simmer. Whisk together arrowroot and remaining 1/4 cup water until smooth, then whisk into sauce with any juices from cutting board.
- Simmer sauce, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Carve roast into chops by cutting between ribs, then serve with sauce.

ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH FRESH PLUM SAUCE
When shopping for this recipe be sure to choose plums (or any other stone fruit) that are fairly firm so they keep their shape after roasting. You know that selfish jerk that has to feel-up every piece of fruit before deciding on one? This time, be that jerk.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Generously season pork tenderloin with salt and black pepper.

Bring mixture to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook and stir until liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes; remove from heat.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Rub meat with oil; sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and thyme. Roast in small pan until interior temperature reads about 160 degrees, 1 1/4 hours. Tent with foil to keep warm; let stand.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large, shallow skillet over medium heat. Add half the apples, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Saute, shaking pan to toss apples until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons syrup, 2 tablespoons stock or apple juice, and half the dried fruit. Saute, tossing until fruit is soft, and mixture is juicy, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to small bowl; cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Combine batches. Adjust seasoning.
- Meanwhile, slice rolls open; spread with mustard. Slice meat into 1/4-inch-thick slices; arrange over bottom halves of rolls, and mound with hot sauce. Cover with top of rolls; place on a baking sheet. Heat until rolls are toasty and filling is hot, about 5 minutes.
Tips:
- For the best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork tenderloin is cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also cook the pork tenderloin until the juices run clear when you pierce it with a fork.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
- To make the fruit sauce, use a variety of fruits that are in season. Some good options include apples, pears, peaches, and berries.
- You can also use frozen fruit to make the sauce. Just be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- If you don't have any fruit on hand, you can also use a jar of fruit preserves or jelly.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with the fruit sauce, mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
Pork tenderloin with fruit sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The pork tenderloin is cooked to perfection and the fruit sauce is the perfect complement to the meat. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
