"This moist flavorful roast, with its fruit filling and tangy glaze, has become a tradition at our family events," reports Theresa McIlveen of Turner Valley, Alberta. "It's not tricky to prepare and is so impressive on the table."

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup diced pitted dried plums (prunes)
  • 3/4 cup diced dried apricots
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 boneless pork loin roast (3 to 4 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 2 teaspoons cider vinegar

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the plums, apricots, ginger, 3/4 teaspoon cumin, orange zest, cinnamon, salt and pepper; set aside. Untie roast and separate pieces. Spoon fruit mixture onto one piece. Top with the second piece; retie with kitchen string. Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
  2. Combine the brown sugar, flour, cornstarch, mustard, vinegar and remaining cumin until smooth; rub over roast. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until a thermometer in the pork reads 145°. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
