Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 lb pork tenderloin
  • 3 Tbs brown sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 Tbs canola oil
  • 1/4 cup Smucker's Orchard's Finest Red Tart Cherry Preserves
  • 1 Tbs whole grain mustard

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Remove layer of fat from the top of pork tenderloin with a sharp knife. Pat the tenderloin dry and set aside.
  2. Combine the brown sugar, salt, nutmeg, and turmeric in a small bowl and rub over top and sides of pork tenderloin.
  3. Wrap top and sides of tenderloin with the strips of bacon. Hold in place with toothpicks.
  4. In a large oven-proof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the bacon-wrapped tenderloin and sear each side about 6, or until a caramel color.
  5. In a small bowl, combine preserves and mustard. Brush over the top and sides of tenderloin. Transfer skillet to the oven and cook 15-20 minutes, or until tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 140°F.
  6. Remove from oven and loosely tent with foil while pork continues to cook another 10-15 minutes.
  7. Remove toothpicks and slice into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces for serving.
