Directions: |
Directions:Cook sausage until slightly pink; drain well. Combine sausage and next 9 ingredients; set aside. Slice the pork loin lengthwise just deep enough to separate to make room to stuff. Sprinke 1/4 teaspoon each of salt, pepper, and coriander into separated center. Spoon stuffing mixture Into center of loin. I pack it full. I spear (thread), a small size wood skewer to pull stuffed sides together. Sprinkle outside of pork loin with remaining salt, pepper, and coriander.
Place roast in a lightly greased shallow roasting pan. Place the 6 slices of bacon across the tied or skewed roast on the diagonal. Insert thermometer into thickest part of roast. (I sprinkle pepper and a little worchestersire sauce over top of bacon). I also use worchestershire black pepper and sprinkle over all of roast too!
Bake st 325 degrees for 1 hour. Combine cherry preserves and orange marmalade; stir well. Brush mixture over roast. ( I give a heavy coating all over the roast) Cover loosely with foil and bake an addition 30 minutes to 1 1/2 hours ( 30 minutes per pound) or until thermometer reads 170 degrees and roast is nicely brown); basting often.
Remove skewers and slice into sections to serve. Drizzle pans juice over meat if you want to add more flavor!
Serve with your favorite sides!
