Balsamic Glaze Tenderloin


Ingredients
1 (Pork or Turkey) Tenderloin.. I I Usually just buy the 1 pounders from the meat section of my grocery store. 
1/2 cup water
For Dry Rub
1 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 clove garlic, crushed (or 1 tsp dried minced garlic)
For Glaze
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup water

(This may seem like an odd mix of ingredients but it is oh so yummy!)
 

1.Combine and mix together sage, salt, pepper and garlic. Rub over tenderloin.

2.Place 1/2 cup water in slow cooker and then pork tenderloin.

3.Cook on low for 6-8 hours. NOTE: It usually takes 6 hours on low for tenderloin to cook in my slow cooker – cooking time will vary based on your slow cooker. 

*I have put a frozen tenderloin in there before, yup I'm super lazy, and it came out fine cooking it on low for 8-10 hours.*
4.About 1 hour before tenderloin is done (But I have literally just done it 5 minutes before we ate it a few times), combine ingredients for glaze (brown sugar, cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and water) in small sauce pan.

5.Heat and stir until mixture starts to thicken slightly. Brush, or in my case pour glaze on pork tenderloin 2 or 3 times during the last hour of cooking.

*You could pour the rest of glaze on top of the tenderloin. We choose to serve the remaining glaze on the side.*

*It is very good with a baked potato or some green beans!*
