Transform your humble pork tenderloin into a gourmet delight with this effortless slow cooker recipe. The magic happens when brown sugar and tangy balsamic vinegar combine to create a rich, caramelized glaze that perfectly complements the tender, juicy meat. This crowd-pleasing dish practically cooks itself, requiring just minutes of hands-on time while your slow cooker does the heavy lifting. The final broiling step creates an irresistible, sticky-sweet crust that'll have everyone reaching for seconds. Perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions alike! - Claude

Ingredients
1 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 cup water
2 pounds pork tenderloin
 

(continued in the next column ↗️)

For the glaze:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp soy sauce
Directions
Mix together the seasonings: sage, salt, pepper and garlic, and rub over the tenderloin.
Place 1/2 cup water in slow cooker, followed by the tenderloin, and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
1 hour before the roast is finished, mix together the ingredients for the glaze in a small saucepan: brown sugar, cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, water, and soy sauce.
Heat over medium and stir until mixture thickens, about 4 minutes.
Brush roast with glaze 2 or 3 times during the last hour of cooking.
For a more caramelized crust, you might want to remove from slow cooker and place on aluminum lined sheet pan, glaze, and set under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, until bubbly and caramelized.
Repeat 2 to 3 more times until desired crust is achieved.
Serve with remaining glaze on the side.
