I stumbled upon this amazing recipe on Pinterest for brown sugar and balsamic glazed pork loin a while ago. I have made it a number of times and love how it comes out. It is one of those recipes that makes you proud that you cooked it! It seems so decadent and fancy. However, it is super easy and a slow cooker meal! This is a great recipe to use for dinner guests. It will defiantly impress!
What You Need
1 (2 pound) boneless pork tenderloin (or regular pork loin)
1 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup water
Glaze
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons GF soy sauce
How To Make It:
Combine sage, salt, and pepper. Rub over roast. Place in slow cooker with 1/2 cup water. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. About 1 hour before roast is done, combine ingredients for glaze in small sauce pan. Heat over medium heat and stir until mixture thickens. Brush roast with glaze 2 or 3 times during the last hour of cooking. Serve with remaining glaze on the side.
Notes:
I find it takes about 8-10 minutes for the glaze to thicken. I drizzle more glaze on the sliced pork loin when I serve it. You will want to drizzle the glaze all over your dish – trust me! It is just amazing!
