BACON-WRAPPED ROAST PORK LOIN STUFFED WITH DRIED FRUIT
This impressive dish sounds far more complicated than it is. The oven does most of the work. Don't forget the sauce: the tang of the Dijon cream sauce is a welcome counter to the sweetness of the brandied fruit. Add a green salad (maybe some red potatoes?) and you have the perfect Sunday supper.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, warm, but do not boil, the brandy. Place the fruit in a small bowl, cover with the brandy and soak for 20 minutes. Drain, reserving the brandy, and coarsely chop the fruit. Return the fruit to the bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon of the sage and 1/2 teaspoon of the thyme and season it lightly with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the pork on a work surface. Using a long, round metal or wooden skewer about 3/4-inch thick, pierce a channel through the center of the loin. Stuff the fruit into the channel, using the skewer to pack it in. Season the loin lightly with salt and pepper and drape the bacon slices over it.
- Use butcher's twine to tie the roast. Place the roast in a roasting pan fitted with a rack and roast for 15 minutes. Lower the heat to 350 degrees and continue to roast until the pork is cooked but, when poked with a knife, the juices at the center still run slightly pink, about 1 hour more. Transfer the roast to a serving platter and allow to rest, covered, for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, remove the rack and place the roasting pan on top of the stove over medium heat. Add the shallots to the pan juices and cook, stirring, until they are softened, about 3 minutes. Add the reserved brandy and the wine and simmer until reduced by half. Whisk in the cream and mustard and continue to simmer until slightly thickened.
- To serve, remove the twine from the roast, slice and serve with the cream sauce.

BACON WRAPPED, PORK LOIN CHOPS
Tired of the same old pork chops, I thought I would do them on the grill, bacon wrapped. I used a mixture of charcoal briquettes and charcoal. The briquettes last longer and the charcoal adds that campfire flavor, while the bacon added the taste of smoked hickory. Marinating them for 2 days in the Orange Juice Brine provided the hint of orange flavor, and helped to create a real moist chop. Butt Kickin' Blacken contains neither slat nor sugar, and is available at http://www.capnrons.com/index.html?ID=RZ For additional, instructional pictures, Please visit http://www.capnrons.com/R_M_Bacon_Wrapped_Pork_Loin_Chops.html?ID=RZ

Steps:
- 1. Trim the fat and silver skin from the pork loin, then cut it into 8 equal pieces. Each chop should be 1 1/4" - 1 1/2" thick. If your pork loin isn't large enough, you may get only 6 pieces out of it. The thick chops, will end up more tender and moist after they've been cooked on the grill.
- 2. Mix up the ingredients for the marinade. Then, place the pork chops, and the marinade into a plastic bag. Set this in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours, but you could leave it as long as 48 hours without harming the chops.
- 3. Cut the butcher's twine into lengths that will go around each chop, with a bunch additional length. Make sure you cut a couple of extra strings, because you might drop one or two on the floor like I usually do.
- 4. Wrap the bacon around each chop, then tie with the twine.
- 5. Set them on a platter, drizzle with the oil, put a heavy dusting of blacken and a little Kosher Salt on each chop, and rub it in well. Turn them over, and do the other side.
- Ron' Note:.
- If you notice that the seasoning isn't pasty after you've applied it to the chops, just add a little more oil.
- 6. Cook over a fairly low fire, on the grill. Mine was on for about 50 minutes this time. Cook to an internal temperature of 140 - 145 degrees, with an instant read meat thermometer. When each is done, place on a platter and cover with aluminum foil to rest. I found that I took 4 off the first go-round, then gave it another five minutes. As they cook, you'll feel them begin to firm up. If they're still squishy, they probably aren't done yet.

EASY CROCK POT BACON-WRAPPED PORK LOIN ROAST
I love to buy those long, pork loin roasts from Sams Club when they go on sale. I usually cut them up into three-one and a half to two pound roasts, so I get at least three meals out of it. This is a very easy and flavorful way to make these wonderful pork loin roasts. I don't use a lot of herbs and spices, because my husband...

Steps:
- 1. Wash pork roast and pat dry. Add salt and pepper to taste. Wrap pork roast in uncooked bacon slices, securing underneath the roast. Cook in crockpot on low heat for about 5 to 6 hours or until bacon is cooked and roast is tender. Transfer to serving platter.
- 2. Pour broth into a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Thicken using about 2 teaspoons of cornstarch mixed with enough milk to make a pourable paste. Add cornstarch mixture to broth a little at a time, whisking constantly. If mixture seems too thin, you may add a little more cornstarch. If too thick, pour in a little milk or water. Continue cooking and whisking until consistency is correct. You may also add salt and pepper to taste.
- 3. Slice roast and serve with gravy.

Steps:
- If any silver skin on loins is present, cut away and discard.
- Sprinkle sage, garlic, salt and pepper all over loins. Place loins closely together lengthwise, with thick ends meeting thin ends, to even out roast thickness.
- Lay out slices of bacon snugly together on a cutting board, forming a rectangle. Place loins across bacon so bacon ends emerge from each side. Beginning at one end, lift a bacon end up over loins at a 45° angle. Then, alternating sides, continue lifting bacon ends down the length of roast forming a chevron pattern of bacon on top.
- Cut five 12-inch (30-cm) lengths of twine and one 30-inch (75-cm) length. Place 5 shorter lengths of twine under loins widthwise. Working out from roast centre, firmly (but not causing deep indents to form) tie up each piece of twine, spacing evenly apart. Then tie up roast lengthwise with longer piece of twine. Trim twine ends; discard. (Roast can be prepared, covered and refrigerated for up to half a day. Add 10 to 15 minutes to roasting time.).
- When ready to roast, preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Lightly brown roast on all sides, about 15 minutes in total.
- Transfer to a baking pan lined with a rack. Place in oven; set time for 30 minutes. Check and continue roasting until a meat thermometer reads 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from oven: transfer to cutting board. Cover roast with foil; let rest 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel core and slice apples. Thinly slice onion.
- Drain most of fat from frying pan; place back over medium heat. Add onion; cook 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in flour; cook 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth; add apple slices.
- Bring to a boil; simmer, covered, 5 to 10 minutes or until apples are tender and sauce is lightly thickened. Add more broth if too thick; keep covered and hot.
- To slice pork roast, snip off lengthwise string. Then slice about ¾ inch (2 cm) thick, removing crosswise strings as they are encountered.
- Place a few saucy apples on each warm serving plate, top with a couple of slices of roast and drizzle with more sauce. Serve with mashed potatoes and a steamed julienne of carrots.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Carefully slice the pork tenderloins open lengthwise, butterfly-style (not all the way through to the other edge). In nonstick skillet, in olive oil over medium high heat, sear pork tenderloins until browned on both sides. Remove to meat cutting board. Open tenderloins and pound flatter. Close and sprinkle liberally with seasoning salt on both sides, top and bottom. In medium bowl, combine broccoli, Monterey Jack, Cheddar cheese and salt. Open each tenderloin along the fold and fill with broccoli mixture. Carefully close pork over the filling. On bacon rack in microwave oven, cook bacon (covered with paper towel) until cooked but still pliable. Reserve bacon fat. Wrap each tenderloin in 4 pieces of bacon. Place stuffed, bacon-wrapped tenderloins in 9 x 13-inch (23 x 33 cm) casserole dish and pour reserved bacon fat over meat. Bake approximately 25 to 30 minutes (basting half way with juices in pan), or until instant read thermometer reads 155°F (68°C). Smaller pieces of pork tenderloin will be cooked sooner. Keep that in mind. Check internal temperature of pork after 20 minutes. Yield: 4 servings 1 serving 631.6 calories 70.6 g protein 35.6 g fat 2.8 g net carbs

Steps:
- Choose bacon well-streaked with lean meat as well as fat and purchase it from the butcher's case, as it tends not to be as watery as the bacon in the 500 g packages. For incredible flavour, seek out a dedicated butcher shop, such as Kingston's Brothers Quality Meats, which smokes bacon on the premises. 1. If any silver skin on loins is present, cut away and discard. Sprinkle sage, garlic, salt and pepper all over loins. Place loins closely together lengthwise, with thick ends meeting thin ends, to even out roast thickness. 2. Lay out slices of bacon snugly together on a cutting board, forming a rectangle. Place loins across bacon so bacon ends emerge from each side. Beginning at one end, lift a bacon end up over loins at a 45° angle.

NIF'S PORKAPALOOZA (PORK LOIN WRAPPED IN BACON)
This is what I got when I realized that I had a pork loin and bacon in the fridge at the same time! Only 3 ingredients and a little prep and you'll have a very tasty, juicy pork. I used Recipe #347977 for the dry rub. I also let the loin sit overnight in the fridge after it was prepped. One little tip - count the number of toothpicks that you use so you know how many you need to pull back out! I cooked this in the BBQ but I don't see why you can't cook it on a rack in the oven. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Rub the pork loin with the dry rub. Be sure to cover the whole thing.
- Lay bacon slices out on a cutting board, overlapping about 1/4". Roll the pork loin over the bacon, making sure to roll the bacon up and around it.
- Meet the bacon slice ends together and secure each one with a toothpick. You may have to pull the bacon slightly to stretch it far enough for the ends to meet.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Sear the outside of the loin completely until the bacon is nicely browned.
- Meanwhile, preheat barbecue to 350°F, leaving the middle burners off. Place the pork loin over indirect heat on the barbecue. Rotate the roast every 10 minutes or so until pork is cooked through and internal temperature reaches 170°F, about 45-60 minutes.
- Let rest for 10 minutes, remove the toothpicks and slice.

Steps:
- Mix brown sugar, spicy brown mustard, soy sauce, worcestershire, and maple syrup. Remove the layer of fat on top of the pork with a sharp knife or most of it. Sprinkle it with salt, pepper and garlic salt. Pour the brown sugar glaze over the top. Wrap the pork with bacon slices covering it all. Drizzle the top with the maple syrup. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour at 375 degrees. Remove foil and with a spoon re glaze the top with the drippings in the pan. Recover and cook for 30 more minutes. Uncover and re glaze again with the pan juices, you can drizzle with more syrup if you like now also. Cook uncovered until bacon is brown and crispy about 20 more minutes. Let it rest for about 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. This will be so tender and will slice in nice thin slices. You can put the pan juices over it after slicing or leave as it is. Make sure each portion has some of the sweet, crispy bacon with it...that's the best part to me!
BACON WRAPPED PORK LOIN
Steps:
- So let's line a roasting pan with aluminum foil and place your big hunk of pork on that sucker. Preheat your oven to 375F. In a small bowl, make your spice rub. Combine the salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, and chili powder. And give that pork a good rub down. Then we'll wrap the whole thing in some bacon. P.S. - the technical term for wrapping something in fat (in this case, bacon) is "barding." Place the roast in the oven and roast for about 50-60 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan under medium heat, combine the ingredients for the glaze - the brown sugar, flour, cider vinegar, and mustard powder. Simmer until the sugar is dissolved. Drizzle glaze over top of pork roast and continue to roast for about 25-35 minutes longer, or until internal temperature has reached 160F. Let rest for about 10 minutes and then slice into 1 inch thick portions. Serve with your starch of choice and enjoy!
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, make sure the pork loin is evenly thick throughout. If necessary, use a sharp knife to trim any excess fat or uneven edges.
- For a more flavorful dish, marinate the pork loin in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices before wrapping it in bacon.
- To prevent the bacon from burning, par-cook it in a skillet before wrapping it around the pork loin.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork loin is cooked to your desired doneness. For a medium-rare pork loin, cook it to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Let the pork loin rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped pork loin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy bacon exterior and tender, juicy pork interior, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. Whether you are serving it for a special occasion or a casual weeknight dinner, bacon-wrapped pork loin is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
