Healthy Fruity Pork Fillets

You’ll laugh when you see this old pic but it is a good reason I’m showing this….it all has to do with the recipe that accompanies it. Yes, that’s right, moving on from the photo that was taken when I was about 17 years old (only 10 years ago or so;) which was published in an athlete cookbook (very low budget might I add).

We don’t eat a lot of pork in our family so it was only recently that I came across some lovely pork fillets and remembered this recipe. I had forgotten how good it was, and with thanks to my mother it has now been passed down and recreated now into one of my family’s favourite meals.

Here’s how to make these deliciously moist fruity pork fillet parcels

Fruity Pork Fillets

Ingredients

2 large pork fillets, traces of fat removed

1 cup pitted prunes

How to make
