Bacon Wrapped Cherries Recipes

DEVILISHLY DELICIOUS BACON AND CHERRY ROLL-UPS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with non stick spray.
• Gently run a knife along each rasher of bacon to stretch it slightly, then cut it in half widthways.
• Roll a cherry in each piece of bacon.
• Place on baking tray and bake in a moderate oven until bacon is cooked and the fat is crisping up--you can grill these too, but be careful they don't burn.

BACON-WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SOUR CHERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pat dry the pork tenderloin and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then wrap with the bacon, overlapping the slices.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then brown the pork and shallots, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip the pork tenderloin browned-side up and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until the pork reaches 145 degrees F in the center, 15 to 18 minutes.
• When the pork is done, transfer to a cutting board, leaving the shallots in the skillet. Add the cherries and stock to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water, then add to the skillet, bring to a boil, whisking until sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Slice the pork into 8 pieces, divide among 4 plates with the sauce, and sprinkle with dill, if desired.
