How to Make Crock Pot Pork Chops With Dried Fruit
- Place 1.5 lbs pork chops (or a 2-lb pork roast) in a 4-5 quart crock pot slow cooker.
- Evenly layer 1 cup of your favorite dried fruit (such as cranberries, apricots, or cherries) over the pork.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup orange marmalade, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1/4 cup orange nectar.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the pork and fruit in the crock pot.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and slightly pink near the bone (for chops, internal temp should reach 145°F). If using a roast, check for an internal temperature of 190-195°F.
- Remove the pork and fruit from the crock pot with a slotted spoon; cover and keep warm.
- Pour the cooking juices from the slow cooker into a 1-quart saucepan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water to form a slurry.
- Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan of juices.
- Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, for 4-6 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and become bubbly.
- Serve the pork and fruit drizzled with the delicious sauce. Enjoy!
