10 slices of bacon
10 thinly sliced pork filets
10 oz. dried apricot halves (cut in small slices)
¾ cup dried cranberries
3 Tbs. honey
1 cup fine breadcrumbs
2 Tbs. dried parsley
1 Tbs. all-purpose flour
1 Tbs. parmesan cheese (finely shredded)
1/2 tsp. sugar
3 tsp. Italian seasoning (mine has paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper)
2 Tbs. shortening
2 eggs
10 toothpicks
1 cup apple juice
Don’t let this name fool you. It does not have any wild game but this is a serious dish for the pork lover. In a bowl, mix bread crumbs, parsley, flour, cheese, Italian seasoning and sugar. Cut in shortening until mixture is fine crumbs. In a separate bowl mix apricots, cranberries and honey. In another dish beat 2 eggs lightly. Dip one side of the pork filets in the egg mixture and then the crumb mixture. Spoon ¾ cup of apricot mixture onto each pork fillet. Roll fillet (with fruit inside), wrap with a bacon strip and use a toothpick to secure the roll. Place in the bottom of Dutch Oven and add apple juice. Cook for approximately 1 hour at 350 degrees.
