Balsamic Glazed Pork

This pork is delicious. The flavor is great, if you cook it right it just falls apart... mmmm.

I found this on Pinterest and made a few changes. This is a crockpot dish, with a little time in the oven.

You will need:
A large piece of pork. 2-3 pounds. Shoulder will work well, it will be less dry. You can use tenderloin, just watch it carefully. It will be less fatty.

Salt
Pepper
Sage
Garlic powder
1/2 cup water
3 cloves garlic crushed

1/2 cup water
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (I used black cherry infused)
2 T soy sauce
1 T corn starch
1/2 cup brown sugar

Rub the pork with the first four ingredients. Put pork in the crockpot with 1/2 cup of water and the garlic cloves. If you are using a tenderloin, cook for 6 hours on low, you can cook a little longer if using something fatty.

After five hours make the glaze. Mix the last five ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened.
**you can do this two ways, I recommend using the oven**

In the crockpot brush the roast with the glaze every 15 minutes for the last hour. OR you can stick the pork in the broiler after glazing it, leaving it in only long enough for the glaze to caramelize.

Either way, you are going to love this. I made a sauce with the cooking liquid, throwing in a little more garlic and about 1 1/2 T of corn starch. The pork was a little dry, I used a loin and cooked it too long.

This is great with potatoes. It would be good with rice noodles. It would be FANTASTIC on a steamed bun with Asian slaw.

I am not kidding when I say this is delicious. Make it and you will be a kitchen rock star.
