Cherry Balsamic Pork Loin
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 3 hours + standing
YIELD: 8 servings (1-1/3 cups sauce).
After having a wonderful cherry Brie topping from a local market, I just knew I had to create one for pork. If you're really crazy about cherries, add even more to the slow cooker. —Susan Stetzel, Gainesville, New York
