Expert Tips

(Total time will vary with appliance and setting.)

Apple juice enhances the flavors of the dried fruit and pork. You can also use apricot nectar or orange juice.

Check that the package of dried fruit contains large pieces of fruit, such as slices of peaches, apples, pears and apricots. Diced dried fruit is also available, but the pieces are too small, so they overcook and become part of the sauce during the long, slow cooking.

Pork had no flavor. Will not be using this recipe again.

Great recipe! My husband and I enjoyed it because the pork was tender and flavorful, and delicious with the fruit sauce over rice. It was easy to assemble in the crock pot. Instead of 8 ounces of dried fruit, I added 4 ounces of dried apples, and about 1/2 cup raisins. When I make it again I'll try dried apricots since we think we'd like a tangy flavor. I passed along this recipe to two friends, fellow foodies who will appreciate the simplicity and good flavor!

What a delicious meal, ideal for the winter months. I added apricots, dates, cranberrys and rasins - it was aromic and all of us were hungry by the time it was done cooking. The kids liked it and had seconds and I am going to use again while entertaining guests. Now one thing I added that was not on the directions was a bit of ginger - good flavor.
