Read MoreI should have used common sense. Pork tenderloin, like beef tenderloin, is very lean, cooks very quickly, and is exactly the kind of cut that should never see a slow cooker. But I didn’t. The results were predictably awful. A cut best cooked to slightly pink came out grey, devoid of moisture, utterly inedible. I’m not certain how anyone could have made this and found the meat remotely edible.
Read MoreAfter reading the reviews, I was a little worried to try this meal. We made sure to buy the correct plum sauce, which was not hard at all. I found it at my local Walmart in the Asian food isle. It smelled really strong of cinnamon and all spice at the end, which had me worried it was going to be too sweet - but it wasn't at all! The pork (we used a 2.5 lbs pork loin) balanced everything out and it was absolutely wonderful! I served it with jasmine rice and green beans.
Read MoreDo not try to substitute Plum Jelly in this. Plum sauce is made from salt preserved plums and, while there is some sweetness to it, it is not as sweet as jelly. I made it with plum sauce and left out the plums and it was really delicious. The meat was falling apart tender and the taste was great. Will make again for sure.
Read MoreMade this last night and my whole picky family loved it. I was hesitant about it because I don't like fruity or sweet meat but the flavor was great - not too much cinnamon or plum. Surely those who gave this a bad review used plum jelly or jam instead of the plum sauce. You must use plum sauce! This is a great, easy recipe that I will definitely make again and again.
Read MoreI only used half the cinnamon/allspice rub, and still the cinnamon overpowered everything. No taste of pork or of plum. Just cinnamon. Will not make again.
Read MoreThis is delicious! Even my picky teenager loved it. For those who don't know, Plum sauce can be found in the Asian food section.
Read MoreI'm going to echo a previous reviewer and say it's extremely important to use Plum Sauce and not Plum Jam or Jelly. They are two entirely different things. My husband really loved this recipe. The meat was extremely tender and while it made the entire house smell like cinnamon whilst cooking, the actual cinnamon taste was more muted when actually eating the dish. We served with white rice and pea pods like suggested. We will definitely be making this again.
Read MoreThe poor reviews had me questioning whether to make this recipe, but it just sounded promising and I had a hunch my family would like it so I decided to give it a try. Very glad I did, this will stay in my slow cooker repertoire. When your husband and your high school and college age daughters all agree “this is really good!” you know it’s a keeper. The meat was so tender it was falling apart as I sliced it into medallions, and the sauce was ample and flavorful. This recipe is easily doubled and I wouldn't hesitate to serve it for company. I wanted to post a review because I think it merits a higher rating than given. I noticed a few reviews that mentioned substituting plum jelly for plum sauce, and I’m wondering if that contributed to some low ratings. These sauces are not similar, plum sauce is an Asian cooking sauce and you will not get the same results using plum jelly. Stick with the plum sauce. The only disappointment in making this was its disappearing act—no leftovers!
Read MoreReally enjoyed this. My husband says its too sweet. I had to use Plum Jam. I think if you added a bit of soy sauce maybe some minced garlic it would cut the sweetness factor down. Definitely a recipe I will be tweaking. Pair it with Jasmine Rice and Broccoli.
Read MoreDelicious! And very moist and tender; fell apart with a fork. And it definitely works in a slow cooker. Next time, I'll make sure I full coat the pork with the water and plum sauce so that the cinnamon and allspice can meld better.
Read MoreI substituted plum jelly for the plum sauce and added some cracked black pepper and then at the end I added a bit of cornstarch to thicken the sauce. Hubby said "This is delicious!" 2 times during dinner. I will definitely make it again.
Read MoreMy family did not enjoy this recipe. We will not be making it again ...
