Ingredients
>
1 (1 1/2 lb) Nature's Promise® Antibiotic-Free Pork Tenderloin
>
4 tbsp maple syrup, divided
>
8 to 10 bacon strips
>
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
>
4 to 6 Anjou Pears, halved and cored
Steps
1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Using paper towels, pat the pork tenderloin dry. Brush pork with 1 tbsp maple syrup. Season with salt and pepper. On a large rimmed parchment-lined baking sheet, lay the bacon strips side by side, overlapping slightly. Place pork tenderloin at one end of bacon slices and wrap all the bacon slices around tenderloin, securing with toothpicks if needed.
2
Place tenderloin in the center of parchment, seam-side down. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining 3 tbsp maple syrup and the balsamic vinegar. Brush cut sides of the pears with half of maple syrup mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Flip pears so they are cut-sides down on baking sheet.
3
Roast 30–35 min., until a meat thermometer placed in the thickest part of pork reaches 145°F. Remove pork from oven. Move oven rack 6 inches from broiler and set broiler to high. Broil tenderloin 3–5 min., until bacon is crisp and golden. Let pork rest for 5 min. Slice pork and serve with pear halves along with remaining maple syrup mixture for drizzling.
