PORK LOIN WITH BROWN SUGAR AND BALSAMIC GLAZE
This Pork Loin with Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glaze Recipe is easy and delicious. Best of all, it's made in a crockpot, so you can get it cooking first thing in the morning and go about the rest of your day, then come home to a mouthwatering meal where the pork is so tender it falls apart...and the brown sugar and balsamic glaze make it both sweet and savory. It is definitely a winning recipe.
Equipment
- 1 Crockpot
Ingredients
- 3 Lbs. Pork Loin
- 1/2 piece Onion Coarsely Chopped
- 4 Cloves Garlic Fresh
- 1/2 cup Water
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 tbsp. Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp. Corn Starch
- Salt Quantitatively
- Pepper Quantitatively
Instructions
- Turn on crockpot/slow cooker and set on Low.
- Place chopped onion in crockpot.
- Rinse off pork loin with water and pat dry using paper towels.
- Season with salt and pepper and quickly brown on all sides over the stove in a lightly greased frying pan.
- Place pork loin, fat side up, on top of onion in crockpot. Add 1/2 cup water.
- Place garlic cloves on top of the pork.
- Cover and let cook for 6 hours. In the final hour of cooking, prepare the glaze.
- Combine brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and corn starch in a small saucepan and cook over the stove approx. 5 minutes until glaze is thickened. (Note, the glaze is really delicious, so you may want to double the amount to have extra when serving.)
- Turn pork over inside the crockpot and pour half of the glaze on top.
- Set aside the rest of the glaze. Let pork continue cooking until done.
- When pork meat falls apart easily, serve it with the remaining glaze on top.
