Honey Mustard Pork TenderloinDiana Rattray
This is quick and easy to prepare and cook in the slow cooker. Grease the slow cooker with a little oil or use a cooking bag to make cleanup easier.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 7 hours

Ingredients:

  • 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
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf thyme, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon cold water

Preparation:

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, and thyme; 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.

Serves 6.

Finally a crock pot recipe that my husband likesFebruary 21, 2009By JulieElaine
"I did a quick search and made this last minute for dinner on Thursday. I was pleasantly surprised that my husband liked it. He usually does not like recipes that are in crock pots...until now. Thanks so much. I am adding it to our monthly menu."
