Ingredients

• 2each- 1 ½ lbs pork tenderloin
• 6 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoon Smokehouse Bacon Seasoning
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 8-12 slices bacon
• 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
• ½ cup apricot jam
• 4 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350º. Pat tenderloin dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, Smokehouse Bacon Seasoning, paprika and pepper. Rub it over entire pork tenderloins. Wrap the pork with the bacon slices, securing each with a toothpick. In a large cast iron or oven proof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until it sizzles. Add the tenderloin and sear for about 5 minutes. In a small bowl combine the jam and mustard and brush it on all sides of the tenderloin. Place in the oven and cook until a meat thermometer reads 140º to 150º, about 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness. Remove from the oven and loosely tent with foil. Rest for 10 minutes to allow it to finish cooking. Remove toothpicks and slice. 3-4 Servings
