EXPERT TIPS

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.

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!
