Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Blackberry-Glazed Pork Tenderloin.
Step 1
Start by generously seasoning your pork tenderloin on all sides with fragrant sage, earthy rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
This blend of herbs will infuse the meat with delightful flavors as it cooks.
Step 3
Next, gently place the seasoned pork into your slow cooker, creating a cozy little nest for it.
Step 4
Now, let’s add a touch of sweetness and depth: spoon the luscious blackberry jam, a quarter cup of honey, and two tablespoons of dry red wine over the pork.
Step 5
This combination will create a mouthwatering glaze that caramelizes beautifully during cooking.
Step 6
Cover the slow cooker and set it to low, allowing the pork to slowly transform for about four to five hours.
Step 7
You’ll know it’s ready when the meat is incredibly tender and has a hint of pink in the center, with an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
While the pork is cooking, let’s prepare a delightful sauce to accompany it.
Step 9
About 15 minutes before you’re ready to serve, combine fresh blackberries, half a cup of dry red wine, and two tablespoons of honey in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
Step 10
Bring this mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer.
Step 11
As it cooks, the sauce will thicken slightly, and you’ll see some of the berries burst, releasing their sweet juices—this is where the magic happens! When the pork is perfectly cooked, slice it into tender pieces and generously spoon the warm blackberry sauce over the top.
Step 12
The vibrant colors and rich flavors will make your dish not only delicious but also visually stunning.
Step 13
Enjoy this delightful meal that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
