Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless pork chops (about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick) About 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick
  • 14 ounces can of jellied red fruit sauce Can be substituted with any fruit preserve or jam
  • 1 ounce packet of dry onion soup mix Can be substituted with onion powder, garlic powder, and salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Lightly coat the inside of a slow cooker with nonstick spray if desired.
  2. Arrange the pork chops in an even layer across the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix over the pork chops.
  4. Place the jellied red fruit sauce on top of the chops.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours until the pork is tender and reaches 145 degrees F.
  2. Halfway through, spoon some sauce over the pork chops.
  3. Once done, stir the sauce until smooth and serve the pork chops hot with the sauce.

Notes

Serve with mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the sauce. Steamed vegetables or a fresh salad make great additions. Garnish with fresh herbs for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
