Eric’s Fabulous Pork Tenderloin

Here we go! Ingredients: •2 pork tenderloins, about 2 pounds •grill seasoning for pork or chicken, about 2 teaspoons, or a similar seasoning blend •6 slices bacon •Glaze: •1/2 cup brown sugar •1/4 cup apple juice •1 tablespoon Dijon or grainy mustard •dash cinnamon Preparation: Heat oven to 400°. (I used my gas grill – only indirect heat. Turn on the rear and front burner, place the tenderloin over the middle (unlit) burner) Line a 13×9-inch baking dish with foil; lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Trim excess fat and silver skin from the pork; rub all over with the seasoning blend. Wrap bacon around the pork tenderloins and arrange in the baking dish. Blend glaze ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside. Bake the pork for 30 to 40 minutes, or until temperature registers 150° on an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat. Brush the pork generously with the glaze mixture and continue baking for about 10 minutes, or until temperature reaches 160°. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serves 6.
