Variations & Tips
For a twist on this recipe, you can use apricot preserves instead of peach preserves. If someone in your family isn't fond of peaches, this can be a great alternative. You can also add a touch of heat by including a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes in the peach mixture. For an extra veggie boost, try adding sliced onions and bell peppers to the slow cooker along with the pork chops.
