Ingredients
1 jar (12.75 oz.) sugar free seedless blackberry jam
(We used Smucker's Sugar Free Seedless Blackberry Jam.)
1/4 cup sugar free honey
(We used Honey Tree's Sugar Free Imitation Honey.)
2 Tbsp. dry red wine
(Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot are both good.)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper, ground
1 Tbsp. dried sage
1 Tbsp. crushed dried rosemary
2 lbs. pork tenderloin
1/2 cup dry red wine
(Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot are both good.)
2 Tbsp. sugar free honey
(We used Honey Tree's Sugar Free Imitation Honey.)
1 cup fresh blackberries
1 tsp. corn starch
All those hours simmering in blackberry sauce make the pork fall-apart tender. Add the blackberry sauce over the top and it's a delicious combination of savory and sweet. Just put some vegetables on the side for a perfect dinner.
1. Pour the blackberry jam, 1/4 cup honey and 2 tablespoons of red wine in a slow cooker and use a whisk to mix it up well.
2. Mix together the salt, pepper, sage and rosemary in a bowl. Then rub it into the pork tenderloin on all sides. Place the tenderloin in a slow cooker and spoon the jam mixture over the pork. Set the cooker on low, cover and cook for 4 to 5 hours until tender.

3. About 15 minutes before the pork tenderloin is done, pour the 1/2 cup of red wine, 2 tablespoons of honey and fresh blackberries into a saucepan. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer until the sauce thickens slightly (about 15 minutes) and berries start to burst. Crush the berries in the pan and add 1 teaspoon of corn starch. Mix together for about another minute, until it thickens.
4. When tenderloin is done, divide it into six servings. Slice each serving up and put about 1 tablespoon of blackberry wine sauce over each serving.
Yield: 6 Servings
If you're making this for the freezer, add a serving of frozen vegetables to the container so when you heat it up it includes veggies. Also pour a couple tablespoons of the juice from the crock pot into any freezer containers, then when it heats up it'll stay moist.
Microwave for approximately 2-3 minutes. Keep the container open a little to allow steam to escape.
