Ingredients




2 ounces pork tenderloins, about 12 each, trimmed (or alternatively one larger tenderloin)
Kosher salt
Coarsely ground black pepper
Toothpicks
8 medium thick slices bacon
1/2 cup pure maple syrup

Preparation

1 Sprinkle tenderloins with salt and pepper.  Place in a bowl or shallow dish.  Cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. 2 Meanwhile soak toothpicks in water and prepare a gas or charcoal grill for medium-high, indirect grilling (variation: soak some applewood chips to add just before cooking) 3 Wrap bacon slices around pork, securing with toothpicks.  Place on grill and brown for a few minutes, covered.  Baste with some maple syrup and continue to grill for about 20-25 minutes, turning and basting occasionally with the maple syrup. 4 The pork should be done in 20-25 minutes total, or until the internal temperature reaches about 150° and the bacon is uniformly crispy. 5 Remove from grill and let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before slicing.  Serve with accumulated juices!
