Ingredients

4 pound boneless pork loin roast
Kosher salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
2/3 cup chopped dates
2/3 cup dried chopped apricots
2/3 cup golden raisins
1 large orange juiced
1 clove garlic grated
2 tablespoons minced cilantro

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
On a baking sheet add your pork loin roast and season liberally with kosher salt and black pepper.
Bake until the center of the pork roast reaches 140 degrees F. Pull it out of the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes where the center of the roast should reach 145 degrees F.
While the roast cooks in a small saucepan add chopped dates, apricots, golden raisins, orange juice, and garlic. Simmer on low until the dried fruit becomes plump and most of the liquid has cooked away. Do not brown your fruit, you're just looking to create a soft spoonable compote.
Remove the compote from the stove and stir in the cilantro.
After your pork has rest, slice the pork and serve with the dried fruit compote.
