Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin


Serves a whole bunch!

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. 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.

Served with rice and edamame beans with tomatoes (because they were literally the ONLY vegetables we had in the house.)

Results: Super simple and VERY tasty. The glaze was very flavorful. I'll be making this one again.

  1. I made this one but differed the cooking. I marinated a poin loin roast in the sauce all day and popped it in the oven when I got home from work. (350, 20 minutes per pound. It was perfect timing for me to get changed and make a side dish while it cooked.) It was so good. Roasting it had a lot of leftover juice, but I just spooned it over the slices once it was plated. (Plus, the extra juice kept the leftovers from going dry.) Yummy!
