Cut a horizontal slit through the center of the pork roast to within

Combine the fruit; place on one side of roast. Fold other side of meat over filling; tie securely with kitchen string.

Cut slits in roasts; insert garlic slivers.

Place in an ungreased shallow baking pan. Drizzle with butter; sprinkle with oregano, salt and pepper.
