Sage & Sweet Potato Hasselback Pork Tenderloin

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Hatfield Tuscan Herb Dry Rub Seasoned Pork Tenderloin
  • 1 - 2 small sweet potatoes - sliced 1/4-inch thickness
  • 3 tbsp fresh sage - roughly chopped
  • 6 slices Hatfield Bacon - chopped
  • 1/4 cup apricot preserves
  • 1-1/2 tbsp sherry or sherry cooking wine
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375º F.
  • Fry the bacon until crispy, adding the sage during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Remove to a paper lined plate to drain.
  • Create thin slices down the length of the pork tenderloin (approx 3/4 inch apart) without cutting all the way through. Tip - place two chopsticks on each side of the pork and allow them to be the stop for the knife as you slice down.
  • Push the cooked bacon and sage mixture down into each of the slits in the pork.
  • Slide the sliced sweet potatoes down into the slits with the bacon mixture.
  • Place the stuffed pork on a baking sheet and bake at 375º F for 30 minutes.
  • While the pork cooks, add the apricot marmalade, sherry and dijon mustard to a small saucepan and stir. Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, or until bubbly. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • After the pork has cooked for 30 minutes, pour the glaze over the top and return to the oven to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, slice and serve.
