Ingredients

4lb Pork Loin
10 oz. container cubed Gorgonzola Cheese
4 oz. package of Whole Figs
2 sprigs fresh Rosemary, stripped from branches
4 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon each, Onion and Garlic powder
Salt and Pepper

Note

Peach Sauce:
In small sauce pan, blend:

8 oz. Peach Preserves
4 oz. Honey
4 oz. Honey Mustard
1/4 tea. Nutmeg
1/4 tea. Ginger

TIP: Using a mallet, pound figs until they’re approximately 1/4″ thick.
TIP: I prefer my temperature to reach a little higher than what is considered safe. It melts the cheese more, and it just tastes better. You can grill canned peach halves, drained, to serve on top of each slice.

Directions

Step 1
Remove the silver skin on pork loin by running a sharp knife just under the skin length-wise. Wash your hands and make a marinate out of last 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Butterfly the pork loin by running your knife down one side length-wise. Be careful not to cut completely through, as you want the pork loin to lay flat. Using a mallet, pound the pork loin until approximately a 1/2″ thick. Place in bowl with marinate, making sure all sides of pork loin are saturated. Marinate for about 10 minutes. Lay flat and stuff by sprinkling the cheese, figs and rosemary, length-wise. Stuffing should be an inch from each end to prevent it spilling out. Tie with string. see “tying, half-hitch method on website”. On hot grill, cross-mark all sides of the pork loin. Place on baking pan with foil covering each end. (optl) Place in preheated oven at 350* for approximately 30 minutes or when it reaches 158*.
Step 2
In the meantime, heat Peach Sauce, over med-low until it becomes a glaze. Approximately 6-8 minutes. When the pork loin comes out of the oven. Let rest for 10 minutes, and brush top with Peach Sauce. Slice into 1″-2″ thick.
