Pecan Crusted Apple Strawbanero Ghost Pepper Pork Loin
Here is an excellent recipe for pork loin that I cooked perfectly in my Infinity Grill Dome cooker! I took softened cream cheese, and mixed it with Frog Bone Apple Strawbanero Ghost Pepper Preserves, to create a wonderful filling for this loin, and then at the end I glazed the loin with the same Frog Bone preserves, and crusted with chopped pecans. This was absolutely delicious, and very juicy and tender as pork should be. Don't let the name of the preserves scare you away! It is very smooth, with just a touch of heat, but awesome flavor.
