Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Pork Loin With Balsamic Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, water, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking sheet.
• Combine garlic, sage, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub garlic mixture over pork tenderloins.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange tenderloins in the skillet and brown evenly, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer pork to the prepared baking sheet and brush with the balsamic glaze.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn pork, brush again with glaze, and continue cooking until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 20 minutes more, or until desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Remove tenderloin to a platter. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Drizzle a little extra glaze over the top. Carve and serve with remaining glaze on the side.

Steps:

• Wash pork roast, trim excess fat, pat dry, and rub with garlic halves. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then prick the roast all over with a fork or skewer.
• In a cup or bowl, combine 1 cup of the brown sugar, the mustard, and vinegar. Rub all over the roast.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours.
• Pour off the excess juices.
• Combine the remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar with cinnamon; Spread the mixture over the top of the roast.
• Cover and continue cooking on LOW for 1 hour longer.

Steps:

• Mix together the seasonings: sage, salt, pepper and garlic.
• Rub over tenderloin. Place 1/2 cup water in slow cooker; place tenderloin in slow cooker.
• Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
• 1 hour before the roast is finished, mix together the ingredients for the glaze in a small sauce pan: brown sugar, cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, water, 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 1-2 minutes until bubbly and caramelized. Repeat 2 to 3 more times until desired crust is achieved.
• Serve with remaining glaze on the side.
