Rating: 4.5 stars (I give it a 5 but hubby thinks 4, so we are settling right in the middle!)
Cost: $
Comments: I found this great recipe online. I was a little apprehensive about the glaze part, just because I like to throw things in the crock and forget about it until right before dinner. Making the glaze was actually super easy and it wasn't a hassle at all!
Ingredients:
(1-2 lb.) Pork Tenderloin
1 teaspoon ground sage (I left this out because I didn't have any at the time)
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 clove garlic, crushed (I left this out because I didn't have any at the time)
1/2 cup water
Glaze
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (this is where the hubs took away a star, see additional comments below)
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoon soy sauce
Directions:
Combine sage, salt, pepper and garlic. Rub mix over tenderloin and place in the crockpot. Pour 1/2 cup of water over tenderloin. Cook on low for 5-7 hours or until pork is nice and tender. One hour before the pork is done, combine the ingredients for the glaze in a small sauce pan. Heat and stir the glaze until the mixture thickens (usually when it starts to bubble). Brush the tenderloin with the glaze 2-3 times throughout the last hour of cooking. Serve the remaining glaze on the side.
Additional Comments: In regards to the balsamic vinegar, the hubs is not a fan, and felt as though it was a little too strong. I on the other hand loved it. I will probably half the amount of vinegar next time though.
