Honey glazed pork fillet with bacon and pear 

What you need:

Olive oil

Salt/ pepper

1 fillet of nz pork (per 2 persons) We used Harmony free range pork

1 pear (Any type will do, but I used Packham) cut into six to eight wedges (any leftover pear cut it into chucks and chuck in the roasting dish.

6 to 8 rashers of streaky bacon (I used Harmony free range bacon) 

4 tbsp of manuka honey (although you could use any type of honey also)


How to make:

Set oven temp to 180C. Rub pork fillet in olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and in a pan sear each side of the fillet for 3 mins. Place fillet in a roasting dish. Wrap each rasher of bacon around a wedge of pear. Cut 6 to 8 slices down the fillet away from the grain, and shove a bacon wrapped pear into the slice. 

Roast for 25-30mins until bacon is cooked (this really depends on your oven, the best way to check the fillet is to make sure the outside is cooked but the inside of the pork is cooked but a pink color.  Remove from oven and drizzle with honey. Finish it off by grilling for a few mins in oven until the bacon crisps.

What you need:
