Directions:
Directions:
Melt 1T butter in heavy large skillet. Brown pork loin roast, only about 4 minutes each side, just to lightly brown. Cool 10 minutes.

Combine remaining 1/4 c. butter with flour, mustards, peppercorns, mustard seeds, sugar, accent & Spice blends in bowl. Spread paste over cooled roast. Wrap bacon around roast & secure with toothpicks on the bottom. Preheat oven to 475. Roast 30 minutes, then reduce temp. to 325 degrees. Continue cooking about 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes until roast reaches 160 degrees with meat thermometer. Take out roast and tent with foil. It will continue to cook the additional 10 degrees to 170. Leaving it in the oven to 170 will make the meat too tough.

For Gravy: Remove drippings from pan. Heat over medium heat. Add flour and stir until golden brown-about 2 min. Whisk in cider and stock. Simmer until thickened stirring occasionally-about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in cider vinegar, Apple Jack and mustard.
Season with salt & pepper to taste. Serve sliced roast with gravy.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Roast is good served alone. Also, good with Knorr's Hollandaise Sauce Packet mix - simple to prepare!. You can also prepare roast ahead of time up to the step before you bake it in oven. Follow all steps and store bacon wrapped roast ready to pop into oven up to 2 days before cooking.
Wrap in heavy Aluminum foil.
