The recipe that I bring today is the roasted pork that I have always prepared, and since the first time I made it about 15 years ago, I never move it not a coma because it always works for me, even if sometimes I may be tempted to introduce a new touch. This roast porc with prunes, dried apricots and sweet wine sauce is an easy recipe without complications that only requires patience in the roasting time and much love. The rest is done itself
The Roast allows the meat to slowly cook retaining their flavors and properties and giving a unique flavour. It is a must in the buffets of my parties whether in summer or winter, and a favorite of my friends. Serve it with two sauces: its own juice roast pork and another more sweet for those who enjoy the mix of the sweet and sour in the meals.
As garrison I never miss the potatoes baked or boiled, but you can also accompany it of a salad or the vegetables that you like and it will be also fantastic (try these creamed spinach). It is an ideal dish for special occasions in which we tend to be very busy because it allows meat and sauces to be prepared a few days earlier. The day you are going to serve it you just need cut the meat into thin fillets and warm sauces
Pork leg is macerated for one day what makes the meat take the flavors well. Meat is watered with wine during roasted so that the result is a juicy and tasty meat. Let me know... but I am sure it will be a success!

Hello!
A question... A whole leg or is a stub. This boneless?
Thank you.
Hi Mar, is a piece of pork leg and boneless. There are no whole legs weighing 2 kilos and a half, are much larger and already pitted weigh about 6 kilos at least. But if I will tell you that I've roasted them whole often (always pitted because are otherwise not covered by a conventional oven), and are delicious. To give you an idea, for a leg of 6 or 7 kilos, the total time of baking is about 3 hours or 3 hours and a half. A hug and thank you very much for being here with me :) Merry Christmas!
Loleta, I want to make a whole boned leg or a shoulder and thought to use a thermal probe to nail the point of meat, that temperature would have to take the probe so that you know already this list? And nothing more, ingredients increased them linearly for the amount of meat that I'm going to roast?
1000 thank you. I am a recidivist of your recipes. I love your work!
Hello Fernando, sorry you have not answered before, but I've been without coverage for a few weeks. You can increase the ingredients proportionately to the amount of meat you want to roast, but you should keep in mind the type of oven you use. A leg boneless weighs between 2 kilos and a half and three pounds and a half approximately and the temperature should be around 80-85 degrees Celsius inside the piece of meat to be well roasted meat. Thank you very much for your words and a hug
I've tried the recipe with lomo tape (1, 5 kg) and has come out great. The sauce of dried apricots and plums impressive, but really... I will repeat it in a couple of weeks with a paddle! Thank you very much again.
You do not know the illusion that makes me to read you. Thank you so much. A hug
