  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 6 toasted pecans, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 cup Merlot wine

  • Step 3 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Step 4 Make a lengthwise cut in the pork tenderloins, but do not cut all the way through.

  • Step 6 Spread the fruit and nut mixture over the tenderloins and season with salt and pepper.
  • Step 7 Roll the roasts and tie with string.
  • Step 8 Season the outside liberally with salt and pepper.
