Add pork; cook and crumble to brown; add tomatoes and simmer, uncovered, 8 minutes. Add fruits, olives, almonds, raisins, capers, and seasonings; cook about 5 minutes or until fruits are tender but not mushy.

2. Poblanos: Make a small lengthwise slit on side of each chile. Carefully remove seeds with teaspoon (or under running water). Arrange chiles on baking sheet. Place under broiler about 3 minutes or until they begin to blister and blacken. Turn chiles and broil 3 minutes or until blackened all over. Place in a plastic bag to steam 5 minutes; remove skin. Before serving, stuff chiles with warm filling.
