Directions

  1. In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine the first 5 ingredients. Add pork, arranging chops to sit snugly in fruit mixture. Cook, covered, on low until meat is tender (a thermometer inserted into pork should read at least 145°), 3-4 hours.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the onion, herbs, almonds and, if desired, ginger. To serve, remove pork chops from slow cooker. Using a slotted spoon, serve fruit over pork. Sprinkle with herb mixture.
