if you can find it, there are seedless blackberry preserves made with splenda, and you can reduce the calories a little. this is an incredibly kid-friendly recipe, in my experience. make couscous to soak up the gravy and watch the kids eat til there are no leftovers.

My family really loved this. I didn't add nearly as much jam as was called for (maybe half a jar) and I had to sub black raspberry as that was all I had on hand but I can't wait to try it with the blackberry. I would say that next time I'm going to try it with a pork loin as opposed to the tenderloin and I think it would be better to cut it when it's almost done and then baste a lot with the juices. The inside was kind of dry. I made the reduction using all the juice in the slow cooker and just added a bit more wine and honey. Thanks for a great recipe!

Made this for Christmas dinner for DH and the kids. Everyone loved it. I think I pretty much followed the recipe exactly, wine reduction and all. I did sear the tenderloin in a pan before putting it in the cooker. I served the sauce and berries on the meat and used the juice from the slow cooker as a gravy. No one seemed to mind. :D DH commented that it was the best pork I have ever made.

This recipe was a big hit. My boyfriend made for us. He loved how easy it was, but it came out tasting like a lot of effort went into it. The sauce really tops off some tender and delicious pork. We'll make it again, no modifications necessary to this recipe as written.

I was feeling lazy so I put some extra wine in the slow cooker and skipped making the sauce. It was still amazing!

This was so good! Didn't have time to get it into the crock pot so I put the pork in the oven for 1 hour at 350 degrees. it came out perfect. Didn't change anything else. Will definitely be making this again.

Great taste and easy to prepare. The pork fell apart, so it didn't look like the pictures & sauce never made a gravy, but was really good and the blackberries made it look and taste so fresh. Next time, I will set the crock pot for less time. Easy to prepare and I will try it again.

This worked great with sherry instead of wine and thyme instead of sage. (I had to substitute because of shortages in the house.)

Yum! This was an easy and really impressive meal! My husband ate so much and requested to have it again when he returns from his business trip! I would recommend to use the juice from the meat--it is already there for you and tastes so good! Next time, I will use it to make a gravy and just make a little of the red wine reduction sauce with fresh berries. The berries definitely added to the flavor, so I won't skip them!
