More foodage: Peach Pork Chops

[bunnyjadwiga]

Sarah made this in the oven, based on a recipe from the crockpot book. Really, really good.

1 pint canned peaches
6 bone-in loin end pork chops
4 tbsp turbinado sugar
2 tbsp dijon mustard
2 tsp Spice mixture: ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves
2 tsp ground rosemary
1 tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup light cream

1. Combine spices and rosemary, rub pork chops with mixture.
2. Combine mustard & sugar, smear on pork chops. Let stand 1 hour.
3. Brown chops in olive oil. (Careful-- it will burn)
4. Put pork chops in shallow baking pan, layered with peaches & peach juice; season with salt.
5. Braise in oven at 325 for about 1.5 hours
6. Remove pork chops & peaches from pot.
7. Stir cream into pot liquor and reheat.
8. Serve pot liquor on side.

And it was GOOD! YUMMMM! We had it with spinach sauteed with garlic and plain rice (to catch the pot liquor). Next time we will try it in the crockpot.

Wow! That sounds amazing! I bet it would also be good if I left out the spices but used my home-canned spiced peaches (which are very spicy, and also have vinegar which should tenderize some).

Thanks!

I wish to mention...

The spice mixture (cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves) was to replace allspice. I couldn't find the allspice.

The recipe indicates one should rub the meat with spices and let it stand and then coat with the mustard/sugar mixture and brown them. I was running out of time so I combined the steps.

The recipe called for brown sugar but I grabbed the first sugar that wasn't white that came along. I thought it was a bit too free flow-y than brown sugar should be but, as stated above, I was rushed so I discounted it.

The peaches are supposed to go on at the end, but they fell out of the jar and I didn't have the patience to pick them out just to put them back later.

If you put this in a crock pot they suggest 3 to 4 hours on high or 6 to 8 hours on low.

I think this is a high maintenance crock pot meal. Better to prep it all at night, refrigerate the crock and then turn the thing on in the morning because there's no way you can just dump stuff in and run out the door to work.
