The only problem I find with pork is that you can over cook it very easily. I think you should keep your eyes on it after an hour, each oven is different and will cook differently on each occasion.
My family members like to see their meat ‘dead’ on a plate. I like mine red and juicy….I think I had over cooked this pork slightly but then again everyone else loved it.
I loved the sweetness the fruit gave to this dish. A little difficult to fold the pork over and tighten but if you get over this challenge, the rest is considerably easy and the end result is delicious!
Enjoy
