Balsamic and Brown Sugar Glazed Pork Tenderloin

I'm always looking for new crockpot recipes to try.  Here's a great one I found on Pinterest...it's courtesy the blog,  C+C Marriage Factory.   I make pork tenderloins all.the.time (seriously about once a week).  However, I have yet to make one in the crockpot.  This recipe is seriously tasty.  I served it with my favorite Brussel Sprout recipe.
-1 (2 pound) boneless pork tenderloin (or regular pork loin)
-1 teaspoon ground sage
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-1/4 teaspoon pepper
-1 clove garlic, crushed
-1/2 cup water
Glaze
-1/2 cup brown sugar
-1 tablespoon cornstarch
-1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
-1/2 cup water
-2 tablespoons soy sauce
Combine sage, salt, pepper and garlic. Rub over roast. Place in slow cooker with 1/2 cup water. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. About 1 hour before roast is done, combine ingredients for glaze in small sauce pan. Heat and stir until mixture thickens. Brush roast with glaze 2 or 3 times during the last hour of cooking. Serve with remaining glaze on the side.
