1/2 teaspoon

1/4 teaspoon
pepper
1
garlic clove, crushed
1/2 cup
water
2 pounds
pork tenderloin
1/2 cup

1 tablespoon

1/4 cup
balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup
water
2 tablespoons

Instructions
- Mix together the seasonings: sage, salt, pepper and garlic, and rub over the tenderloin.
- Place 1/2 cup water in slow cooker, followed by the tenderloin, and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
- 1 hour before the roast is finished, mix together the ingredients for the glaze in a small saucepan: brown sugar, cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, water, and soy sauce.
- Heat over medium and stir until mixture thickens, about 4 minutes.
- Brush roast with glaze 2 or 3 times during the last hour of cooking. (For a more caramelized crust, remove from crock pot and place on aluminum lined sheet pan, glaze, and set under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, until bubbly and caramelized. Repeat 2 to 3 more times until desired crust is achieved.)
- Serve with remaining glaze on the side.
