Crockpot Brown Sugar Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin

Category: Pork I - Tenderloins and Roasts

Serves 6
• 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


Mix together the sage, salt, pepper and garlic, and rub over the tenderloin. Place 1/2 cup water in slow cooker, followed by the tenderloin, and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.


One hour before the roast is finished, mix together the ingredients for the glaze in a small 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 crock pot 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 desired crust is achieved.) Serve with remaining glaze on the side.
