Frugal Foodie Mama: Sweet Honey BBQ Peach-Ginger Pork Chops

Sweet, juicy peaches come together perfectly with the bite of a good ginger beer and the smoky sweetness of KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce Mix & Dry Rub Sweet Honey in these tender, flavorful slow cooked pork chops...

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of KC Masterpiece. The opinions and text are all mine.

While I have been grateful for the warmer weather here lately, we just can't seem to catch much of break with the rain. I seriously think it has rained almost every day of the week for the past few weeks save a day or two here and there. Needless to say, it has put a slight damper on our springtime grilling. Ever tried barbecuing in a downpour? It never works out very well for the person grilling or for the meat being grilled. ;)

So what is a girl to do when it just. won't. stop. raining, and I am craving some good BBQ? I break out my slow cooker and one of my new favorite KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce Mix & Dry Rubs, & get down to work creating a slow cooked dish that has all the smoky goodness of backyard barbecue without the outdoor charcoal grill. Everyone stays nice & dry, and we still get to satisfy our barbecue cravings. I call that a win-win, folks.

For these Sweet Honey BBQ Peach-Ginger Pork Chops, I went all sweet and smoky with these babies. Sweet, juicy peaches come together perfectly with the bite of a good ginger beer and the smoky sweetness of KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce Mix & Dry Rub Sweet Honey in these tender, flavorful slow cooked pork chops... :)

Sweet Honey BBQ Peach-Ginger Pork Chops

by Frugal Foodie Mama

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 3-5 hours

Ingredients (Serves 4)

Approx 1 lb of bone-in center loin pork chops
1 large onion, roughly chopped
5 small (or 3 large) peaches, pitted & sliced
1 packet of KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce Mix & Dry Rub Sweet Honey
1/2 cup peach nectar or juice
1/2 cup ginger beer

Instructions

Spray the inside of a 6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Add in the chopped onion & sliced peaches. Season the pork chops with salt & pepper, & then place on top of the onions & peaches in the slow cooker.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce Mix & Dry Rub, peach nectar, and ginger beer. Pour the sauce over top of the pork chops, onion, and peaches in the slow cooker.

Cook on Low for 3-5 hours. (I found that 3 hours was perfect to get the chops fork & knife tender, but 5 hours gets them fall off the bone tender.)

Serve the pork chops with the apples and onions in the slow cooker and your favorite sides.

Enjoy!

KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce Mix & Dry Rubs now come in 3 new flavors- Sweet Honey, Spicy Habanero, and Original. Simply mix them with your favorite juice, beer, soda, bourbon, even water to create a custom BBQ sauce that is uniquely your own. They are perfect for using with your favorite charcoal grilled, slow cooker, or oven baked barbecue dishes! :)

I really love the sweet and smoky combo for my BBQ dishes, so I simply added peach nectar and ginger beer to the KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce Mix & Dry Rub Sweet Honey for these family-pleasing pork chops. You should be able to find peach nectar in cans in the Latin/Mexican foods section of your local grocery store. And you can pick up ginger beer in the soda or cola aisle.

Don't let the beer in the name fool you- ginger beer is actually nonalcoholic. It is similar to ginger ale, but has more of a spicy bite. If you can't find peach nectar or ginger beer at your local grocer's, feel free to substitute a peach juice blend and ginger ale instead.
