Yummy Dinner!

Well, if you are looking for a yummy dinner look no further. Best part is it's a crockpot meal so not much to it! Those are my favorite. I found this recipe on one of my best friend's blog Deep South Sweets. Check out her blog for great recipes, decorating and more.

Here is the recipe for Brown Sugar Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin. I served it with baked potatoes, green beans and bread.

Ingredients:
2 pounds of pork tenderloin or pork loin (this came to two whole tenderloins for me - watch for them to go on sale and then freeze until ready to use)
1/2 cup water

Rub
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 clove of garlic, minced finely

Glaze
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 Tablespoons of soy sauce


Directions:
Place 1/2 cup water in crock pot.



Mix together sage, kosher salt, pepper and garlic in a small bowl until well combined. It might be a little clumpy due to the garlic and that is ok!



Use the sage mixture and rub it all over your pork to get even and equal coverage.



Place the pork in the crock pot, put your crock pot lid on a cook on low for 6-8 hours.



One hour before the cooking time is complete, combine brown sugar, cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, water and soy sauce in a small sauce pan.



Heat over medium low heat and stir often until thickened to a honey/syrup consistency. Don't let it come to a boil as vinegar mixtures will not thicken at a boil.



Brush roast with glaze 2 or 3 times during the remaining cooking time (I just spooned it over the meat and used the back of the spoon to distribute evenly).



Once done cooking, remove pork from crock pot and serve with remaining glaze.
Original recipe found at C and C Marriage Factory.


So, throw it in the crockpot and enjoy a great meal for dinner!
