Directions:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). 2. Prepare Bacon: • On a flat surface, lay out 6 strips of bacon, overlapping each other by ¼ inch. Repeat with the other 6 strips. • Brush the bacon with ¼ cup of the Balsamic Garlic and Herb Jam. 3. Season and Wrap Pork: • Season the pork tenderloins with salt and pepper. • Place a tenderloin at the end of the arranged bacon strips and roll it away from you, ensuring the bacon sticks to the pork. • Repeat for the second tenderloin. 4. Roast Pork: • Place the wrapped tenderloins on a broiler pan or a foil-lined roasting rack. • Bake at 425°F until the bacon is crispy (about 20 minutes). • Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue cooking until the pork is firm and reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (about 10 minutes). 5. Prepare Glaze: • Slice the red onion and place it in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. • Add sugar, red wine, and the remaining ½ cup jam. • Stir until it reduces to a sauce or glaze consistency. 6. Rest and Serve: • Let the pork rest for 5 minutes after removing it from the oven. • Slice the pork and generously cover it with the glaze before serving. Chef Tips - If you don’t have a broiler pan or roasting rack, you can improvise using a sheet pan lined with foil and placing a cooling rack on top. Serves 6
