This is an awesome dinner. And, it cooks all day in the crockpot. So if you are like me and enjoy mealtime to be less stressful, but fulfilling; this is YOUR recipe. You’re very welcome. I know I’m getting ahead of myself, but I know you will thank me.
This is my new “go-to” pork tenderloin recipe. Well, except for carnitas, because those don’t count. I served this pork with a marinated cherry tomato salad. Which, again, you are welcome. I know you have a million cherry tomatoes and you can only eat so many while standing there watering your garden. And your kids are probably going back to school so the whole “you want a snack? go outside an eat some cherry tomatoes” days are over! I hear ya.
Please. Make this. Then thank me. Otherwise I seem all conceited and stuff saying you’re welcome when nobody is thanking me.
Yep, enough said.

This looks so good! I am not even a huge fan of pork, but wow, I really want to make these. I am going to add to Pinterest right now so I do not forget to try it!
We are huge balsamic lovers, and I LOVE me some crock pot recipes. This sounds like a winner, Aimee! I’m saving it to try.
You had me at balsamic. Can I thank you before I cook this too?
Love the double duty sauce — never thought to serve it on veggies like that — sounds good! Sage rubbed pork reminds me of autumn…
This recipe looks really good! I am not a fan of pork, but I might have to try it sometime. I will definitely pass this on to my sister. She loves pork!!!! Congrats on you win!
This looks so pretty

what a delicious sounding salad come see me at http://shopannies.blogspot.com
Question….do you wait to pour half the sauce over the tenderloin once it’s already cooked for 4 hours? Bc you said to pour half then letbit cook for two more hours! Thank you!
Ashley- after the tenderloins have cooked (about 4-6 hours), pour half of the warmed glaze over them. Save the other half (and keep warm) to pour on right before serving. Or to use in the cherry tomato salad. Enjoy!
Hi Aimee, Im trying this recipe tonight for some friends, looks delicious! I’ve had my crockpot for years but this will be the first time using it, and I had the same question that Ashleyb had. I just want to be sure, that the pork tenderloin should only cook for the 6 hours tops, so I will do the glaze once its been cooking for 4 ?.. I want to time it right for my dinner party. Thank you, Cant wait to try this!
Funny how I find myself going back to the Gooseberry Patch Recipe Round Up: Crock Pot edition…I found your Balsamic Tenderloins recipe and I gotta say….”MMMmm this sounds and looks gr8!” I am adding it to my menu soon.

The balsamic vinaigarette made this recipe. Only thing I did different was omit the sage and added onion. There were no leftovers!
I love the crock pot – best invention ever. And balsamic – sign me up! I love that the ingredients are things I already have in the pantry. I might be making it this week – then I will come back and give you that “thank you!”

You HAVE to try it! I don’t always make the tomato salad, usually just in the summer when I have an abundance of tomatoes. But the pork…delish!
Thanks for the recipe! I made it today and everyone loved it!
So glad you enjoyed the recipe Jodie! thanks for letting me know
Hi Aimee! Read this post yesterday and realized I had everything to make on hand. Winning! My boys LOVED this pork and it was just too easy. Thanks so much for a new family favorite.

I plan on making this for a church ‘pot luck’ on Sunday. Can’t wait! the seasonings sound wonderful for the pork as well as the tomato salad. I think it will be beautiful presented on a platter together.
FUN mary! ENJOY the recipe

Hi,
Looks incredible! Its just my husband and myself, can I just cut all the ingredients in half for only 1 tenderloin?
Thanks for the recipe. It’s currently in my crock pot. Since we’re only a family of three, I decided to 1/2 the recipe and make one tenderloin. I find that the sauce is just not thickening as you described so I had to add a bit more corn starch to get it thickened. They just got done and it tastes amazing!!!
