That's right, that pig :emoji_pig: is so sweet you could kiss it, give it some tongue even. :emoji_heart_eyes:
As you eat it... As you eat it!

The entree and side are rehashes of dishes I've posted before, but this came out so sweet and good, it was almost to pretty to eat.
Perfect chemistry, everything went together just right and it came out beautifully delicious.

I like to start with a half frozen loin, the thicker half of a whole loin.
Using a 12" filet knife I unroll it as evenly as possible, then I place it between two layers of plastic wrap and take a meat mallet to it.
You can see the size difference after I get through with it.
Use plastic wrap or butcher paper to help roll it, once you get the first edge under it'll roll easily. Have your twine laid out and ready to go.

Pounding this out made my arm and shoulder ache like mad.
Five months post-op shoulder surgery and still argues with me.

The stuffing recipe seems like a lot when you're making it, it is, but you'll use it all. I lay it down about 1/4"-1/2" thick.
It is pretty sweet with 3/4c brown sugar, you can cut it to 1/2c if you prefer.
Tonight I added dried cranberries to my stuffing.

I smoked this one at an average temp of 275° with cherry for smoke.
It took about 2.75 hours to attain an IT of 145° in the center.
Glazed it during the last 1.5 hours, about every twenty minutes.

A nice colorful mix of cherry tomatoes, carrots, bell peppers, potatoes, zucchini, celery and onions.
Tossed with olive oil and Italian herbs and spices.
I parboiled the carrots and potatoes, combined with the rest and then roasted under the broiler on high, turning the veggies over several times.

Holy moly!
That looks amazing ! Thanks for posting :emoji_thumbsup:
Thanks guys, it was good and been too long since I fired up the smoker.
Stuffed pork loins are usually both tasty and photogenic.
My big choice was what to stuff it with, the Sweet/Savory got the nod, a close runner up was Pepperoni with Sun Dried Tomato and Mozzarella.

How's the shoulders? Healing up?
Just finished 10 sessions of so-called Work Hardening.
Supposed to get a person's stamina and strength back up to par for their job description.
It has done me a lot of good to get up and exercising, stretching, walking, weights and etc. But at the same time it has aggravated my shoulder a good bit.
I'm not ready to go back to my regular duties, and it will likely take longer.
Chance I may not be able to.
Don't get to see the Ortho till the 10th.

WOW Chili, that is fantastic, I was just reading that recipe the other day when I was looking for your Dole Plantation Whip.
And I was thinking I have not rolled up a pork Loin for a while now . And your glaze sounds top notch

Damn, that is some serious food porn. Don't let the kids see that.
Too late, they've been corrupted for a long time now.

Thank you, the stuffed loin is very tasty if I do say so myself.
The glaze is subtle in flavor, and if layered thick enough actually gives a hard candy like crunchy coating.
It really sets the dish off making it really visually appealing.

I haven’t made a rolled loin in a while, but after seeing yours, I think I have to see if there is one in the freezer.

Not to be the bearer of any bad news because everyone is different, but I'm 8 years post-op on the last of my 3 shoulder surgeries and there's not a night that goes by that my left doesn't bother me. But I sleep on my side and favor my left side. Wishing you all the best with yours. Thankfully I'm retired...
