Braised Pork Loin With Dried Plums

• 1 (3 1/4-pound) boneless pork loin roast, trimmed
• 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cups sliced onion
• 1 cup finely chopped leek
• 1 cup finely chopped carrot
• 1/2 cup port or other sweet red wine
• 1/3 cup fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 cup pitted dried plums (about 20 dried plums)
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• Thyme leaves (optional)

1. Cut pork in half crosswise. Combine pepper and next 4 ingredients (through thyme). Rub seasoning mixture over surface of pork halves.
2. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add pork to pan; cook 5 minutes, browning on all sides. Transfer pork to the inner pot of a 6-quart Instant Pot(R). Add onion, leek, and carrot to pan; cook, stirring constantly, 5 minutes or until vegetables are golden. Stir in wine, broth, and 1/3 cup water, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Pour onion mixture over pork in cooker; add plums and bay leaves.
3. Close and lock the lid of the Instant Pot(R). Turn the steam release handle to "Venting" position. Press Slow Cook, and use Adjust to select "More" mode. Press - or + to choose 1 hour cook time. When time is up, turn cooker off. Press Slow Cook, and use Adjust to select "Less" mode. Press - or + to choose 5 hours cook time. (Cook additional time, if necessary, until pork is tender.)
4. Remove pork from cooker; keep warm. Combine cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl; stir well. Add cornstarch mixture to cooking liquid in cooker. Turn cooker off.
5. Press Saute, and use Adjust to select "More" mode. Bring mixture to a boil, and cook 15 minutes or until sauce is thick, stirring frequently. Discard bay leaves. Slice pork, and serve with sauce. Garnish with thyme leaves, if desired.
