What I did differently was use a tart cherry preserves instead of blackberry (husband's preference); instead of rosemary I used a rosemary/garlic blend together with the rubbed sage because that's what I had on hand. It came out great but the cooking time is definitely too long. I made the wine reduction, doubled, and added dried bing cherries since I used the cherry preserves; added it to the juices in from the pork, thickened it up, added 1-2 TBL butter and it was fabulous. My husband and my son loved it as did I. Will make it again maybe with a loin and cook for a lesser amount of time.

An excellent slow cooker meal. I found the cooking time too long, but may be it is just my slow cooker. I put my tenderloin in still frozen and after 6 hours on low it was a little overcooked for my taste. I made some modifications (sorry) based on what I had on hand and personal preference: reduced the jam to about 1/2 cup, and honey to 2 tbsp, but left the wine at 2 tbsp and reduced the ground sage to about 1/8 tsp and the rosemary to about 1/2 tsp (personal preference) and added about 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Because there was so much liquid in the crock pot, I didn't bother with the sauce. I blended a couple of tablespoons of flour into about 1/4 cup of water in a small pot, then added the liquid from the crock pot, and brought it to a boil until it thickened. My kids really liked this meal and I will definitely make it again. Thanks for a great recipe!

This was amazing! I don't care for fresh blackberries normally but this was delicious and had the perfect balance between sweet and savory! i seared the tenderloin first in a pan and used that pan with the drippings to make the sauce which I think added more flavor. I did end up adding a little roux to the sauce to thicken it up. Absolute 10!

Magnificent recipe, really brought out the sweetness of the pork without being the least bit cloying. The fresh blackberries gave a lovely tart contrast as well. I made this mostly as written, but in a covered roasting pan in the oven, with a little extra red wine and a bit of water to give a little more liquid, and about 2 tablespoons of good quality wholegrain mustard mixed through the jam. I'd say this would work beautifully for venison as well!

I am 50/50 on this recipe. I liked it, thought it was a nice flavor, yet at the same time I would never make it again since I didn't love it enough. I did like the ease of it.
