Two went in the freezer, and I decided to try something new with the remaining tenderloin.</p> <p><span id="more-10127"></span>As I’m sure all you cooks are aware, pork pairs beautifully with lots of different fruit—apples, cherries, dates, prunes, figs, etc. It just so happened that I had a jar of fig preserves in my pantry that needed to be used, so out it came. I thought a combination of the fig preserves and bacon would work nicely, and it absolutely did.</p> <p>You’ll see from the recipe that I kept it really simple, but simple didn’t mean skimping on flavor. With a minimum of effort and ingredients, the results were frantastic. Enjoy…</p> <h2><strong>Pork Roast with Fig Preserves and Bacon</strong></h2> <p><a href="https://www.fransfavs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Printer-friendly-version.docx">Printer-friendly version</a></p> <p><strong><em>Ingredients</em></strong></p> <ul> <li>1- to 2-lb. pork tenderloin roast</li> <li>Jar of fig preserves (you may not use all of it)*</li> <li>4 slices of bacon—cut in half to place 8 pieces over top of roast</li> </ul> <p>*You can substitute cherry or apricot preserves for equally delicious results.</p> <p><strong><em>Directions</em></strong></p> <p>Place pork in roasting pan.

When properly cooked, the internal temperature of the pork should be 145<sup>o</sup> F. When it reaches 145<sup>o</sup> F, remove the roast from the oven and tent it for 3 minutes. My 1½-pound roast was done in 27 minutes, so check the temperature a little early as the 20 minutes per pounds is strictly a guideline.</p> <p>After the 3-minute rest time, slice and serve with pan juices.</p> <p><a href="https://www.fransfavs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/IMG_0707.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-10134" src="https://www.fransfavs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/IMG_0707-768x1024.jpg" alt="" width="660" height="880" srcset="https://www.fransfavs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/IMG_0707-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://www.fransfavs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/IMG_0707-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.fransfavs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/IMG_0707-700x933.jpg 700w, https://www.fransfavs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/IMG_0707-332x443.jpg 332w, https://www.fransfavs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/IMG_0707.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></a></p> <p><strong><em>Fran’s Notes</em></strong></p> <p>While I didn’t use any herbs this time around, I think I may try adding either some thyme or rosemary next time I make it and perhaps some garlic.
