Fig Stuffed Pork Loin Roast with Apple Butter Glaze
I don't eat sugar as an additive at all and am quite health-conscious with my diet. This recipe has no added sugar but is sweet from natural fruit sugars. Many of my friends are not quite so health-conscious, so I try to create healthful yet delicious entrees to share with them. I chose pork as a base for this recipe because it is highly available and inexpensive; so that even for a budget of under $60 anyone could host a dinner party and confidently serve a fabulous entree (students included!). Finally, I enjoyed the challenge of transforming a typically dry and, in my dining experiences, boring cut of meat into an exciting and unexpectedly flavorful dish with Canadian ingredients from my birthplace of Winnipeg and my new home in Ontario.
