Pork with Squash, Apricots & Prunes




Before the crock pot season is over, I wanted to make sure and squeeze this dish in!  I served this for a small gathering with my parents and my Mom's cousin, Debbie.  Such a fun night!

Ingredients:
3 lb. boneless pork loin
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 T grated fresh ginger
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
4 cups peeled and cubed butternut squash
1/2 cup dried apricots
1/2 cup dried prunes

Instructions:
Mix brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, salt and pepper together and rub on the pork loin.  Put the pork into a crock pot.  Place the apricots, prunes and squash on top of the pork.  (It seamed a little strange to me that there was no liquid added, but don't worry the squash will cook and produce enough moisture).

Cook on high setting for 1 hour and then on low for 6-7 hours (until the pork reaches an internal temp of 180).
