Crock Pot Blackberry Pork

 

You will need:

 

For the Pork

1 (2 pound) Pork Tenderloin

Salt

Pepper

3 Sprigs Rosemary

Poultry Seasoning

1 (16 ounce) Jar of Blackberry Preserves

1/2 Cup Red Wine

1 cup Blackberries (optional)

 

For the Sauce

1/2 cup Red Wine

2 Tablespoons Honey

1 Cup Blackberries

 

 

Directions:

1. Generously season the pork tenderloin on all sides with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Place the tenderloin, wine, blackberries, and rosemary into the crock pot. Set the cooker to high and cook for roughly 5 hours (until fork tender).
2. About 15 minutes before serving time, pour the wine, honey, and blackberries into a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly and some of the berries burst, about 15 minutes.
3. To serve, slice the tenderloin and spoon blackberry-wine sauce over slices.

Just for fun . . .the next time we make this we will be adding a tablespoon or two of "juice" from our whisky pickled jalapenos to give it a little heat.  You could add a jalapeno or two during the cooking process to do they same thing.  If you choose to try it, let us know how it turns out.
