Bacon-Wrapped Pork Loin with Pepper Jelly Glaze

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up, if desired. Remove the pork loin roast from the packaging and place it on the baking sheet. Use paper towels to dab the surface of the meat dry.

Step 2

In a small bowl, make a paste with the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub the garlic paste over the entire pork roast. Wrap the bacon around the pork roast, covering it and tucking the ends of the bacon under the pork loin roast.

Step 3

Place in the oven and roast at 400°F for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F and roast for an additional 40 to 50 minutes, or until an instant-read meat thermometer reads 145°F. Remove from the oven.

Step 4

Place the pepper jelly in a small bowl and microwave in 10 second intervals until melted. Stir the white wine vinegar into the jelly.

Step 5

Turn the oven to broil. Liberally brush the pepper jelly glaze over the bacon-wrapped pork loin. Return to the oven and broil until the bacon is crispy and the glaze is bubbly. Remove from the oven and allow the meat to rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with leftover glaze, if desired.
