Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon ground sage
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 2 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 0.5 cup water for the pork
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar for the glaze
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch for the glaze
  • 0.25 cup balsamic vinegar for the glaze
  • 0.5 cup water for the glaze
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce for the glaze

Equipment

  • Crockpot or slow cooker
  • Small bowl
  • Small saucepan
  • Aluminum foil
  • Basting brush

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the ground sage, salt, pepper, and crushed garlic. Rub this mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin.
  2. Place 1/2 cup of water in the bottom of the Crockpot. Add the seasoned pork tenderloin on top. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours until the pork is tender.
  3. About 1 hour before the pork is finished, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, water, and soy sauce in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about 4 minutes.
  4. During the last hour of cooking, brush the glaze over the pork tenderloin 2 to 3 times. For a caramelized crust, remove the tenderloin from the Crockpot and place it on an aluminum-lined sheet pan. Brush with glaze and place under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes until bubbly.
  5. Slice the pork tenderloin and serve it with the remaining glaze on the side.

Notes

To enhance the flavor even more, marinate the pork tenderloin in the seasoning mixture for a few hours before cooking. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; the flavors improve over time. For a bolder flavor, consider using aged balsamic vinegar and adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix if you enjoy a bit of spice.
