Pork Loin Rolled with Apricot–Prune Filling

This fruit-stuffed pork loin pairs tender pork with a sweet, fragrant filling of prunes and dried apricots accented by fresh ginger, orange zest, cumin, and cinnamon. A brown sugar, cider vinegar, and mustard glaze creates a balanced pan sauce for spooning over the sliced roast, making it a fitting centerpiece for a festive dinner or family gathering.

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Combine prunes, apricots, ginger, cumin, orange zest, and cinnamon in a bowl; season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Open the butterflied pork roast so it lies flat. Spoon the dried fruit filling down the center of the roast; close the roast to enclose the filling. Tie the roast securely with kitchen twine in several places. Set the roast on a rack in a roasting pan.

  4. 4

    Combine brown sugar, flour, cider vinegar, cumin, and mustard powder until paste-like; spread the brown sugar mixture over the roast.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the stuffing reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 1 ½ hours. Transfer the roast to a serving platter; tent with aluminum foil while you make the sauce.

  6. 6

    Skim the fat from the roasting pan; transfer the defatted drippings to a small saucepan. Pour water into the roasting pan. Scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to dissolve them in the water; pour the mixture into the saucepan with the pan juices. Bring the pan juices to a boil over medium heat. Dissolve cornstarch in water in a small bowl; whisk it into the pan juices, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute. Strain the sauce into a gravy boat; serve with the roast.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
