Cooking Tips

• Choose a good quality pork loin for the best flavor and tenderness.
• If you prefer a stronger bourbon flavor, you can increase the amount of bourbon in the glaze.
• Make sure to baste the pork loin regularly to keep it moist and flavorful.
• Letting the pork loin rest before slicing allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and juicy meat.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover pork loin can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the sliced pork loin in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
• Serve the honey-bourbon glazed pork loin with bacon as a main dish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
