Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 1/2 - 2 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 1/2 cup water
  • maple spice mixture (or salt, pepper, garlic, basil, marjoram, ground mustard, brown sugar)
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar

Instruction

  • Rub pork with spice mixture. (I was lucky to find a spice mix called Harvest Maple at Harris Teeter. I've listed the spices included above in the recipe but you could also just use salt and pepper.)
  • Put seasoned pork into the slow cooker and add 1/2 cup water.
  • Turn on low and cook for 6-8 hours.
  • Right before it's done add the vinegar, water and brown sugar to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn down to low and simmer until it thickens about 5 minutes.
  • Turn broiler on low. Place rack in top third of the oven.
  • Remove pork from slow cooker, place on a foil lined cookie sheet and gently shred with a fork into big pieces. Brush pieces with some of the balsamic glaze.
  • Place under the low broiler and watch carefully. Broil it until it starts to brown to your liking. I left mine in for about 8 minutes but this will depend on your oven. Remove at least once to baste with more of the glaze.
  • Serve with any remaining glaze on the side.
