Cooking Directions

Season pork tenderloin on all sides with sage, rosemary, salt, and pepper; place into a slow cooker. Spoon blackberry jam, 1/4 cup honey, and 2 tablespoons red wine over top. Cover and cook on Low until very tender and slightly pink in the center, 4 to 5 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
About 15 minutes before serving, bring blackberries, 1/2 cup red wine, and 2 tablespoons honey to a boil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until sauce thickens slightly and some berries burst, about 15 minutes.
To serve, slice tenderloin and spoon blackberry sauce over top.

Tips

Use a dry red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or a blend.
