Crockpot:
Maple & Brown Sugar Pork

2 pork tenderloins, about 1 pound each

salt and pepper

1 small clove garlic, minced

4 tablespoons grainy Dijon mustard or country-style

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar (I used Champagne Orange vinegar)

1/2 teaspoon dried leaf thyme, crumbled

1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or Maple Sugar Seasoning

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon cold water

INSTRUCTIONS

Wash and trim the pork and pat dry; sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Place pork in the slow cooker. Combine garlic, mustard, honey, brown sugar, vinegar, thyme and maple syrup; pour over the pork. Turn pork to coat thoroughly. Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 9 hours, or on HIGH for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours.

Remove pork to a plate, cover with foil, and keep warm. Pour the juices into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until reduced by about one-third. Combine the cornstarch and cold water; whisk into the reduced juices and cook for 1 minute longer. Serve pork sliced with the thickened juices.

I paired this pork tenderloin with mashed sage sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli.
