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 Whole 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, overlapping slightly, and secure them with toothpicks.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin in the hot skillet until golden brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. This step will help render the bacon fat and lock in the juices. 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 and spread the mixture evenly over the pork loin.
5. Roast the pork loin in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, 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), about 15 more minutes.
6. Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, 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.
