Boneless Pork Loin with Pomegranate & Pineapple Glaze

Into a medium to large sized slow cooker, add vegetable broth, pineapple juice, pomegranate juice and bay leaf. Stir, put lid on and set to medium heat.

In a small bowl add black peppercorns, salt and cumin and stir with a fork. Coat both sides of the pork with the seasonings.

In a large skillet on medium-high heat add oil, shallots and pork. Sear each side of the pork for several minutes and stir the shallots as well. Once pork has a nice sear on all sides, transfer everything in the skillet into the slow cooker, put lid on and let it cook for 6 hours.

Remove pork to a cutting board and allow meat to rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

For the glaze: In a saucepan add butter. Heat on medium heat. Once melted add flour and stir to create a roux (paste). Then add pomegranate juice and stir well. Then add all the other ingredients. Bring to a boil, stir well, reduce heat to low and cook for 8 minutes to obtain a thickened, flavorful glaze for serving.

Serve sliced pork with the glaze over top. Great paired with creamed potatoes and a vegetable side dish. Enjoy!

I really enjoy a large Sunday family meal. The slow cooker is so easy to use and assists in preparing tender, flavorful meat. On Sunday’s after church service, I hear everyone’s tummy growling! It’s great to come home to a hot meal. This pork tenderloin just happens to be a family favorite.
