Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glazed Pork

This is a recipe I pinned on Pinterest- tried- and loved! I have made it twice and my hubby just raves! I used a 2 lb. pork loin and am excited to try a pork tenderloin next. Now, I am not a lover of balsamic vinegar, but the taste of this glaze with the balsamic isn't too strong and definitely delicious!

Ingredients:

1 (2 pound) boneless pork tenderloin (or regular pork loin)

1 teaspoon ground sage (I did't have this at home, and it tasted great anyway without it)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 clove garlic, crushed

1/2 cup water

Glaze

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup water

2 tablespoons soy sauce

Directions:

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 (it will have a look to it like molasses). Brush roast with glaze 2 or 3 times during the last hour of cooking. Strain the liquid from the crockpot and serve over pork- so good!
