8 ounces Prunes, soaked, stoned
And chopped
(reserve the soaking
Liquid)
3 ounces Fresh white breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons Onions,chopped finely
A little butter
2 Filets pork, trimmed and cut
In half crosswise
Salt and black pepper
3 ounces Butter, melted
1½ ounce Flour
¼ pint Water or pork stock
¼ pint Double cream

Directions

To make the sauce less rich, replace the cream with milk. Set oven to 350/F or Mark 4. Mix prunes and breadcrumbs together. Lightly fry onion in a little butter and mix with the prune mixture. Cut each pork fillet in half lengthwise and spread lower halves with the prune mixture. Cover with the top halves and tie with string. Dust fillets with seasoned flour, adding extra seasoning if desired. Place in an ovenproof dish, pour melted butter over, cover and cook for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and pour off liquid into a pan. Return fillets to oven and cook, uncovered, for further 15 to 20 minutes to brown. Blend the flour into the liquid, then add reserved prune liquid and water or stock. Bring to boil, stirring; boil for 3 minutes. Stir in cream and brandy and heat through; do not boil. Remove strings from fillets, place on a dish and pour the sauce over.
