You know when you find a recipe that's delicious, easy, popular with the family, fast, company-worthy, etc?  You have to pass it on.

I made this Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin last Sunday and it was a hit with the entire family!

It's made in the crockpot (I'm normally suspicious of crockpot meals, but this was awesome!), and the glaze was unbelievable.  I was licking the pot with my fingers; I would have eaten it on ice cream.

And I served it to my mother-in-law, who is a fantastic cook.  It dazzled all of us.

Ingredients:

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.

Make it tonight.
