  1. In a small bowl, combine ground sage, salt, freshly cracked pepper, and minced garlic.
  2. Take the pork tenderloin and generously rub the seasoning mixture all over.
  3. Pour ½ cup of water into the bottom of your slow cooker.
  4. Place the seasoned tenderloin in the slow cooker and cover with the lid. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  5. In a saucepan, mix brown sugar, cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, additional water, and soy sauce. Heat over medium heat for around 4 minutes.
