Recipe Notes
Dear Kitchen Divas such a beautiful and enjoyable dish to make. My wife loved it. My father a man of few words also. And as usual we all went for seconds or maybe thirds. Roast potatoes and kumara (aka sweet potatoes), along with peas and the gravy was a smash hit. Keep up the good work. Thank you and best wishes.

I just made this recipe for dinner last night and it was a hit! I had friends and family over and they loved it. The tenderloin was tender, tasty just delicious! Thank you for putting it out there for us.
No problem. You are welcome. Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Hopefully you find some other recipes you enjoy just as much on our site. Take care and all the best. Karin
Hi….I am using this recipe for a 6-7lb pork tenderloin and wonder how long I should cook it for??? Anxiously await your reply!
Will the entire tenderloin fit in your slow cooker? If it will not and you have to cut it into a couple chunks your time should be somewhere around 6 hours. We would leave a roast that size in the slow cooker for between 7 and 8 hours. Maybe closer to 8 hours. It will be cooked, tender and delicious! Please let us know what you think once you try it! This recipe is one of our favorites. Take care and all the best. Karin
I’m trying this recipe for tonight’s dinner. Let you know how it comes out. Can’t wait.

We love this recipe. Especially how the house smells! Please let me know what you think after you try it! Take care and all the best. Karin
How many would this feed? We are thinking of having this for Christmas or New Year’s dinner as a change of pace. Yummy recipe. Thanks.
This is always so hard to say. My guess is 4 to 6 people. If you are feeding more buy a bigger roast! We believe there is more than enough gravy but you can always double up if you want to! This roast is one of our favorites. The house smells so good! Please let us know what you think once you try it. All the best. Karin
I don’t have Balsamic vinegar, but I have Balsamic salad dressing. I’ll try that as a substitute and hope for the best. Salad dressing works great for flavoring chicken, so I think it might work well for pork too. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Please let us know. We would appreciate it. We have never tried it but I am personally curious! I look forward to hear from you! Take care and all the best. Karin
This looks FABULOUS, but is the balsamic vinegar added to crockpot when cooking, or at the end when thickening the gravy???
We love this recipe around here! The house smells so good. Anyways add your balsamic vinegar at the beginning with the broth and honey. Please let us know what you think of this recipe after you make it. We would love to hear. Take care and all the best. Karin
I really don’t like the taste of worcestershire sauce, is there something else I could use in it’s place?
I personally would use soy sauce instead. Do you mind the taste of soy sauce? If soy doesn’t work there are other options. Please let me know. This recipe is fabulous! Take care and talk soon. Karin
Karin, thank you for,the tip, absolutely delicious! The 4hrs worked out very well. The gravy was very good.
Awesome. So glad to hear it. You made my day! I even love the way the house smells while cooking and after. Thank you so much for letting me know. I so appreciate it. Hopefully you find some other recipes on our site that you are interested in trying. Have a great night. Take care and be well. Karin
I have a whole pork tenderloin, do you think it will work? Slow cooking for 6 hours? This sounds like a great recipe! Looking forward to trying it.
I think your result would be delicious. This recipe is one of our favorites. I think four hours on low in the slow cooker should be plenty, depending on the size of your tenderloin of course. Please let me know how it goes and what you think. I would love to hear your opinion. Take care and all the best. Karin
Did you have a similar recipe for beef? If so I can’t find it. Maybe I just miss read it. Thanks for your help!

Can you please note the amount of water and flour? I’d love to try this myself. Thank you so much for sharing!
I can’t believe I never noticed that I did not include the amounts for the flour and water! Thank you for letting me know. I will update the recipe now! I use 1/3 cup flour and 1/4 cup water mixed in a cup and then added to the juices to thicken. This recipe is delicious and makes the house smell so good! Please let me know what you think when you try it! I would love to hear your opinion. Take care and all the best. Karin
