Not Just Your Average Pork Loin

Good afternoon kiddies! Hope you all had an amazing Christmas full of great food and tons of presents. Santa was very good to me... I guess you could say I was an angel over the past year :P

Now, I know we can all tend to over eat over the Holidays and in my case WAY over eat, but I have to share this dish with you guys. It was a huge hit at my grandmothers and it disappeared FAST. This will definitely stay in my recipe book!

Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin

As always, I did change this a bit to make it easier!

Ingredients: (I bought the Garlic and herb pork loin already marinated)

1 (2 pound) boneless pork loin

1 teaspoon ground sage

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.(I cooked it for a little over 3 hours, pork needs to be cooked at 145 degrees) 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. Serve with remaining glaze on the side.
