Directions
-
In a small bowl, combine the golden raisins, dried apricot halves, coarsely chopped pitted prunes, chopped pecan halves, minced garlic, and dry red wine. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the fruits to plump and absorb the wine.
-
Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
-
Using a long, sharp knife, cut a lengthwise slit into the pork tenderloin, stopping about 1/2 inch from the bottom, to create a pocket for the stuffing.
-
Stuff the fruit and nut mixture into the pocket. Tie the tenderloin with kitchen twine at several intervals to secure the filling and maintain its shape.
-
Place the stuffed tenderloin on a roasting rack. Sprinkle evenly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160ðF (71ðC).
-
Remove from the oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1/2-inch medallions.
