I found this fantastic recipe at C+C Marriage Factory, a great little blog with gorgeous photos and even better recipes. This is the first that I have tried of hers but I anticipate many in the future. I served them the Rosemary Olive Oil Buns posted yesterday. It was a fantastic meal!
Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin
- 1 (2 pound) boneless pork tenderloin (or regular pork loin)
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Combine sage, salt, pepper and garlic. 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 and stir until mixture thickens. Brush roast with glaze 2 or 3 times during the last hour of cooking (I had to pour off some extra liquid before this step). Serve with remaining glaze on the side.
It’s been way too long since I’ve had pulled pork. These look great!
It was fantastic. One of those classic meals you can always enjoy.
