Pork Tenderloin (Crockpot)




Note: It is easy to 1/2 this recipe and it is incredibly tasty!

Ingredients:
2lbs. Pork Tenderloin
salt and pepper
1 small Garlic Clove (or 1/4 tsp Minced Garlic - but who can get too much garlic right?)
2 Tbs Dijon Mustard
2 Tbs Honey
2 Tbs Brown Sugar
1 Tbs Lemon Juice or Vinegar (white)
1/2 tsp Thyme (minced is fine)
1 Tbs Cornstarch
1 Tbs Cold Water

Directions:
1. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper (I like a healthy amount, but you should still be able to see the meat, so it's not a crust by any means. It is, in fact, a sprinkle.)
2. Place the meat in the slow cooker
3. In a separate bowl combine garlic, mustard, honey, brown sugar, vinegar, and thyme
4. Pour this mixture over the meat
5. Turn the meat several times to coat it in the mixture
6. Cook in your crockpot on low 7-9 hours or high 3.5-4.5 hours (On low for 8 hours was the best one I thought, but do as time permits)
7. Remove the pork and cover it with foil
8. Pour juices in a sauce pan and boil over medium heat
9. Simmer 8-10 minutes until reduced 1/3rd
10. In a separate bowl, combine Cornstarch and cold water, then whisk these into the juices and cook 1 minute

Serve pork sliced with the juices on top! Yumm!
