Method
-
Mix the sage, salt, pepper and garlic into a small bowl, and then tub this seasoning mix all over the pork tenderloins.
-
Prep your slow cooker by putting 1/2 a cup of water in the bottom, then laying the seasoned pork tenderloin on top.
-
Cook on a low setting for 6-8 hours.
-
One hour before the meat has finished cooking whisk together the rest of the ingredients in a small saucepan. This will be the glaze. Heat on a medium heat until it starts to thicken, which usually takes less than 5 minutes.
-
Brush your tenderloins with the glaze 2-3 times in the last hour of cooking.
-
Once the tenderloin is cooked pull it out onto a chopping board and pull it apart. This can be done by cutting into large pieces, and then pulling apart with a fork.
-
Serve with the remaining glaze, and whatever else you like with your pork.
For those that want a very caramelised crust, feel free to whip the tenderloin out of the crockpot and whack it under the grill for a few minutes.
