Pork Tenderloin with a Balsamic Brown Sugar Glaze


I have a tonne of recipes posted to my Pinterest boards. I think around 100 between the "Recipes" and "Food Porn" additions. I have vowed to start cooking at least of these recipes a week. Otherwise, I fear pinterest will turn into a "stuff I like but am too lazy to ever do" compilation.

It's Sunday, so thought I would make something a bit special. But, it turns out this is easy enough for a week night! I served it with roasted potatoes and broccoli. The glaze was
yummy on both.

Inspired by: www.candcmarriagefactory.com/2011/01/brown-sugar-and-balsamic-glazed-pork.html

Ingredients:

  • Pork tenderloin
  • Prosciutto (around 6 slices)
  • Rub: salt, pepper, sage, garlic
  • Water

Glaze

  • 1/2 c. water
  • 1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 c. brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp corn starch

Directions:

  1. Rub the tenderloin with the, you guessed it, RUB.
  2. Wrap in prosciutto. The prosciutto is optional and was something I added from the original recipe, but totally worth it!
  3. Put a little water in the crockpot and cook the tenderloin on low for 6-8 hours.
  4. About an hour before the tenderloin is done, make the glaze. Mix up the glaze ingredients in a small sauce pan and heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
  5. Glaze the tenderloin a few times through the last hour of cooking.
  6. Slice the tenderloin and drizzle with remaining glaze. (Save a little for your sides, it is delish!!)
