Balsamic Slow Cooker Pork Loin





 Ingredients:

3 ½-4 pound pork loin (trimmed of fat with just a little left for flavor)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce:

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1/3 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons molasses

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 cup chicken broth

4 garlic cloves minced

1 teaspoon  rosemary 

1 teaspoon  paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dry Italian herbs

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

Pat dry the loin using paper towels. Next, trim any fat off the loin.


Place a large skillet, over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil ( heat up the olive oil)  add the loin to it. Sear it for 3-4 minutes on each side.

In a large measuring cup or bowl combine all the sauce ingredients and mix well

Add pork to slow cooker, pour sauce over and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 7-8 hours

Once you take the pork out of the slow cooker let it rest for about 10 minutes then slice it up


It's warm this week so a good time to bring out the crockpot. Meat prices are SO high. I got this pork loin on sale for 1.98 a pound.

Came out good and Gabe said it really smelt good while cooking. It had LOTS of liquid, which was thin. Took some out and thicken it with a cornstarch  mixture. The liquid from the pot mixed with the cornstarch mixture made a nice gravy.

    1. Hi Elaine- I had a bottle from Trader Joes. I don't use balsamic that often but this recipe was really good. Hope you have been well
