- Meanwhile, with sharp knife, butterfly pork tenderloin by slicing horizontally to, but not through, opposite side. Open tenderloin as you would a book. Place between two sheets of plastic wrap. With meat mallet, rolling pin or heavy pan, pound tenderloin to ¼-inch thickness. Set aside.
- Sprinkle rosemary, and reserved apricots and figs evenly over surface of tenderloin. Roll up tightly starting on long side.
- Wrap prosciutto slices around tenderloin, overlapping slightly. Tie in 3 or 4 places with butcher string.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Roast tenderloin on parchment-lined baking sheet for about 45 minutes or until instant-read thermometer registers 155°F.
- Meanwhile, bring sauce to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until reduced by half, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove tenderloin from oven onto clean platter. Tent loosely with foil and let tenderloin rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with Honey Wine sauce.
