CROCK POT BROWN SUGAR BALSAMIC GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN



SERVES SIX

INGREDIENTS:

1 tsp ground sage
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp 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, peppr, and garlic.  Rub over the tenderloin.

Place 1/2 cup water in the slow cooker, followed by tenderloin. Cook on low 6-8 hours.

One hour before the roast is finished, mix together the ingredients for the glaze in a small saucepan: brown sugar, cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, 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 tenderloin from crock pot and place on aluminum line sheet pan, glaze, and set under broiler for 1-2 minutes, until bubbly and caramelized. Repeat 2-3 more time until desired crust is achieved.

Serve with remaining glaze on the side.
