Quick Recipe

Crockpot Brown Sugar Balsamic Pork Loin

2 pounds boneless pork tenderloin

1 teaspoon ground sage

salt and pepper

1 clove garlic, crushed

1/2 cup water

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, garlic and rub over the tenderloin.

Place water in the crock pot with tenderloin and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

1 hour before the roast is finished, mix together brown sugar, cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, water and soy sauce. Heat until mixture thickens.

Brush roast with glaze 2 or 3 times during the last hour of cooking. 

Optional: Cut slices in the pork and put apple slices into the pork. This helps to keep the pork juicy and more flavorful. Red potatoes and baby carrots are always a nice addition.
