I keep drooling over this link on pinterest thinking that surely I can convince my family to eat it even though it might be a hard sell with the soy sauce in it. So, I caved and made it.
And it was devoured. Killed. Loved. Well, except for Boo because he was in a bad mood.
I bought a four pound pork loin for $1.87 a pound. Love pork sales! I cut the loin in half for two meals. Then I grabbed a few ingredients.
I mixed together a teaspoon of sage, paprika, 3 garlic cloves minced, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
I rubbed the seasoning over the two pound portion of the pork loin.
I put the pork loin in the crock pot with 1/2 cup of water for a little over 6 hours on low. Some tabasco might have fallen into the crock pot. Maybe around 5-6 shakes. It was an accident:)
When the pork loin had cooked for at least six hours, I began making the glaze. I mixed together 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce.
I cooked over a medium heat till it thickened. I removed from heat.
I brushed the glaze on the pork loin 3-4 times over the next hour.
I removed it from the crock pot and gently sliced the loin and pulled the meat apart. It fell apart it was so moist.
