Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rub the pork tenderloin with olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary.
In a small bowl, mix the fig preserves and balsamic vinegar until smooth.
Wrap the tenderloin with bacon slices, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
Place the bacon-wrapped tenderloin in a baking dish.
Brush the fig and balsamic mixture over the bacon-wrapped tenderloin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Let the tenderloin rest for 5 minutes before removing toothpicks and slicing to serve.
Variations & Tips
For an extra kick, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes over the fig and balsamic mixture before brushing it on the tenderloin. If you don’t have fig preserves, apricot or cherry preserves can work as a substitute. For a slightly smoky flavor, try using a smoked bacon. If you’re short on time, this recipe is also great cooked on the grill; just keep an eye on the bacon to make sure it doesn’t burn.
