From the meat chapter of "Stor kokebok" (1914). A festive Sunday roast in which the pork loin is bored out with a broom handle ("tvareskaft") and filled with prunes and apples – a classic Norwegian-Danish stuffing for pork.
Prepare the loin
Cut the meat from the bone and remove the rind. Make an incision with a knife at each end of the loin.
Bore a hole
Using a round wooden handle, carefully bore a hole through the loin lengthwise.
Fill
Fill the hole with cooked, finely cut prunes and raw, paper-thin apple slices. Sew up both openings once the meat is well filled.
Brown and roast
Rub the meat with the combined salt and pepper, brown it in butter in a pan, add boiling water, and set it in a strongly heated oven for about 1 hour. Baste it often with the pan juices.
Make the sauce
Brown the butter, stir in the flour, and add the strained pan juices. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, then add the mustard stirred into a little sauce, along with the red wine.
Serve
Place the pork loin on an oblong, warm platter. Garnish with cooked apple slices filled with truffle purée, along with Brussels sprouts, cooked prunes and French potatoes.
Measurements are given in modern grams, dl and teaspoons. The amount of butter for browning and the amount of water are interpreted from the recipe's context (½ l water). "Tvareskaft" is explained as a round wooden handle / rolling-pin-thin implement; alternatively you can use a long, thin knife or spoon handle.
