    Ingredients

    2 tbsp sunflower oil

    500g pork fillet, sliced

    2 shallots, finely chopped

    3 tsp reduced fat crème fraîche

    100ml chicken stock made with 1/2 stock cube

    250ml medium cider (or 1/2 apple juice and 1/2 water)

    1 tbsp redcurrant jelly

    1 tsp Dijon mustard

    16 prunes

    2 level tsp cornflour

    Method

    1
    Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Cook the pork in batches until lightly browned all over. Transfer to a casserole dish.
    2
    Add the rest of the oil and shallots to the frying pan and cook for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly. Mix the crème fraîche with the stock and add to the pan with the cider (or apple juice & water), redcurrant jelly & mustard. Heat until simmering, stirring to combine.
    3
    Add to the pork with the prunes. Cover and cook in the oven for 25 minutes.
    4
    Mix the cornflour with 2 tbsp water and stir in. Cook for another 5 minutes. Serve with the new potatoes and carrots, garnished with parsley.
