      8 oz Prunes, soaked, stoned
           And chopped
           (reserve the soaking
           Liquid)
      3 oz Fresh white breadcrumbs
      2 tb Onions,chopped finely
           A little butter
      2    Filets pork, trimmed and cut
           In half crosswise
           Salt and black pepper
      3 oz Butter, melted
  1 1/2 oz Flour
    1/4 pt Water or pork stock
    1/4 pt Double cream
      1 ds Brandy
  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.
