Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 65 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 Pounds (lb) boneless pork loin
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch pepper, to taste
• 8 Slices bacon
• 1 Sweet onion, minced
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) honey
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) balsamic vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) dry red wine
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) fresh rosemary, minced
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) golden raisins

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a shallow roasting pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2. Season the pork loin generously with salt and pepper. Wrap the bacon slices around the pork loin, securing them with toothpicks to ensure they stay in place during cooking.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin in the hot skillet until it is golden brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. This step locks in the juices and adds a beautiful crust. Transfer the pork loin to the prepared roasting pan.
4. In a medium bowl, combine the minced onion, honey, balsamic vinegar, red wine, and minced rosemary. Mix until well combined, then spread this mixture evenly over the pork loin.
5. Roast the pork loin in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, sprinkle the golden raisins over the top. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork loin reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), approximately 15 more minutes.
6. Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender result.
7. Carefully remove the toothpicks, slice the pork loin, and serve. Enjoy the harmonious blend of sweet, savory, and aromatic flavors in every bite.
