Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup cherry jam, seedless raspberry is delicious, too
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries
  • 2-3 pounds pork chops
  • kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cherries, plus a few for garnish, optional

Instruction

  • Place sauce ingredients in slow cooker, stir to combine.
  • Preheat large skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat oil in skillet, add pork chops. Cook until well-browned on both sides, flipping once. Remove from skillet and place in slow cooker. (This may have to be done in batches; don't crowd your pan).
  • Pour sauce over chops in slow cooker, tossing gently to ensure a little sauce covers each chop. Cook on low for 4 hours or until chops are very tender.
  • Optional: add some chopped fresh cherries to slow cooker about 15 minutes before serving. You can also pour the sauce into a pan on the stove, bring to a boil and keep it at a very strong simmer until it thickens and reduces by at least one third (skim fat first).
