Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 3-pound boneless pork loin, excess fat trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 1/4 cup fig jam
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • Zest of 1 orange

Instruction

  • In a small bowl, combine fig jam, mustards and orange zest; set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. Season pork loin with brown sugar mixture, rubbing in thoroughly on all sides.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add pork loin, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Starting on 1 side, lay a slice of bacon, crosswise, on top of the pork, laying another slice to slightly overlap the first. Continue with remaining slices until fully covered.
  • Place pork loin into a 6-qt slow cooker; top with fig jam mixture. Cover and cook on low heat for 3-4 hours, or until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 140 degrees F.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with rosemary, if desired.
