HONEY-LEMON PORK ROAST

Serves 4-6

Ingredients

2.5 lbs. Pork Sirloin Tip Roast
2 T oil
1 T butter
2 onions, chopped
1 cinnamon stick
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup water
1 cup pitted prunes
2 T honey
2 t lemon juice

Directions

Season meat with salt and pepper. Brown on all sides in the oil and butter over medium heat. Remove from pan.

Reduce heat and cook onions about 5 minutes, until soft.

Return pork to pan and add the next three ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook for 1 ½ hours, turning pork occasionally.

Add prunes, cover, and cook for another 30 minutes. Meat should have an internal temperature of 145° - 150°.

Uncover and stir in honey. Cook for another 5 minutes, basting the pork often. Transfer the pork to a plate and remove the prunes.

If you have bought a choice piece of pork, there should be very little fat to skim off, if any. Boil liquid over high heat for about 5 minutes stirring often. Liquid should be somewhat thick. Add lemon juice and salt and pepper if needed. Discard the cinnamon stick and add the prunes.

Enjoy.
