Pork Loin in Prune Sauce

This pork loin covered with a prune sauce is a recipe that looks very elegant but is actually very easy to prepare. I don’t make it very often, although we all love it at home. The thing is that pork is such a versatile meat, that you really can’t go wrong with pork, it is extremely flavorful...
