    @stemc33‌ that's a really creative combination for the stuffing. I would have never thought of it - which is why I end up cooking the same things all the time! Looking forward to hear about the result, it looks awesome.

    Finished. Not enough bacon for a weave, just used it for flavor and to keep the loin moist.

    Excellent looking loin my friend. That is the kind of grub that I can really throw down own! I'm honored to give this cook the SGH seal of approval my friend. Solid all around for sure brother stem! =D>

    Thanks all. The taste was incredible. The mandarin oranges had a slightly odd texture, but really wasn't bad when everything was mixed together.

    @Roadpuke0‌, tying is actually really easy. If you search YouTube for stuffed pork loin or deboned chicken galantine, they'll show how to do it. It's just a series of half hitches.

    @blind99‌, I also cooked the same things all the time(frozen pizza, grilled burgers, and tacos) until I got the egg and joined this forum. This last year has been a transformation in my food endeavors.

    I actually went to the butcher to get a boston butt to try the wolf claws my daughter got me for my birthday. They were getting ready to close and didn't have a BB available. Well, I grabbed the boneless pork loin on display just so I could use the wolf claws. Did a bunch of searches and watched some YouTube videos on how to cut the meat. I didn't find anything I liked for stuffing, so I started scavenging through the fridge and cupboards. Once I seen the jar of mandarin oranges I new that's what I wanted.

    I just looked at your deboned chicken thread http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1169965/deboned-stuffed-chicken#latest and must say I'm thoroughly impressed. That's something I've never even heard of until a few weeks ago. This forum opens the mind in the world of food.

    @stemc33‌ thanks for the kind words. I just took what I saw @NPHuskerFL‌ and @ChillyWillis‌ do and ran with it - I give them full credit! Agree, I'm learning a ton from everyone here and my stomach thanks you!

    Thanks @Fred19Flintstone‌, I made an orange sauce with the left over juices from the mandarin oranges. I coated the inside of the loin with the sauce and sprinkled BGE Down and Dizzy seasoning prior to stuffing with the ingredients shown above. The sweet orange and pepper flavor was the most prominent.
