2 lbs pork tenderloin1 tsp ground sage1/2 tsp salt 1/4 pepper 1 clove garlic, crushed 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup brown sugar1 tbs cornstarch 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 1/2 cup water 2 tbs soy sauce
Directions
Mix together the seasonings: sage, salt, pepper, and garlic.

Run over tenderloin. Place 1/2 cup water in slow cooker and add tenderloin.

Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

One hour before the roast is finished, mix together the ingredients for the glaze in a small sauce pan: brown sugar, cornstarch, water, soy sauce.

Heat over medium heat until glaze thickens; about four minutes.

Brush roast with glaze 2 or 3 times during the last hour of cooking. For a more caramelized crust, remove from crockpot and place on an aluminum lined sheet pan, glaze, and set under broiler for 1-2 minutes until bubbly and caramelized.

Serve with remaining glaze on the side.

    Is the balsamic vinegar part of the glaze? I don't see it mentioned in the directions. - 12/12/14

    I cooked in my slow cooker for the recommended period, but found that it was overdone. I suspect cooking time will vary according to what type of slow cooker you have. Flavour is like that of a sweet-and-sour sauce. - 11/22/14

    Pretty tasty! My tenderloin ended up a bit dry as well, so the doubling of the glaze worked wonderfully. - 6/1/14
