Slow Cooker Orange Pork Tenderloin with Butternut Squash

This was really delicious.  It ended up more like pulled pork (as you can see) and kind of dry, but I drizzled a little of the pot drippings over and it did the trick.  I think I ended up cooking it 9 hours, which is just too long.  You should probably stop it at 7.




















Slow Cooker Orange Pork Tenderloin with Butternut Squash
from Betty Crocker (I found it with the squash in my local family market and Googled where it might have come from)

3 lbs butternut squash, peeled and cut into pieces
1/2 tsp salt
1 pork tenderloin (2 lbs)
1/4 cup orange marmalade
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Arrange the squash around the edge of a 3-4 quart slow cooker.  Sprinkle with salt.  Place pork in the slow cooker (it will overlap squash slightly).  Mix marmalade and garlic, spread evenly over pork.  Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours.  Remove pork from cooker, place on cutting board.  Cut into even slices and serve with squash.
