An easy meal, that the crockpot cooks for you. The pork is juicy and tender, and the sweet glaze tops it all off.
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 8 hours
Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 cup water
2 pounds pork tenderloin
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Directions
Mix together the seasonings: sage, salt, pepper, and garlic, and rub over the tenderloin.
Place 1/2 cup water in the slow cooker, followed by the tenderloin, and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
1 hour before the roast is finished, mix together the ingredients for the glaze in a small saucepan: brown sugar, cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, water, and soy sauce.
Heat over medium and stir until mixture thickens about 4 minutes. Brush roast with glaze 2 or 3 times during the last hour of cooking. (For a more caramelized crust, remove from crockpot and place on aluminum lined sheet pan, glaze, and set under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, until bubbly and caramelized. Repeat 2 to 3 more times until the desired crust is achieved.)
Serve with remaining glaze on the side
