Pecan-Crusted Pork Tenderloin Pinwheels with Carolina Mustard Sauce

1 (1-pound) whole pork tenderloin
6 slices thin sliced bacon

 

Carolina Mustard Sauce:
3/4 cup prepared mustard
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons catsup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1. Cut pork lengthwise into six 1/4-inch slices. Separate slices; place on cutting board (slices should be the size and shape of the bacon). Place a slice of bacon on each pork slice. Starting at one end, roll up into a spiral. Secure with 2 wooden toothpicks.
2. For Carolina Mustard Sauce, combine mustard, honey, vinegar, catsup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and hot pepper sauce in medium bowl. Reserve 1 cup of the sauce until ready to serve. Brush remaining sauce over pork. Combine pecans, salt and pepper in small bowl.
3. Cut each pork spiral in half to form 2 pinwheels (12 total) and the secure ends with water-soaked wooden skewers or metal skewers. Coat each pork spiral with pecan mixture.
4. Grill pinwheels on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium-high heat (375 to 400 degrees F.) until pork is slightly pink in center, 6 to 8 minutes on each side.
5. To serve, drizzle reserved sauce over pinwheels.

Serves 6.

Wine Suggestion: Try a soft red wine like a Merlot.
