Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 cups honey
- 0.25 cups soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides and set them aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour a small amount of the glaze mixture into the bottom of the slow cooker to prevent sticking. Then, place the pork chops in a single layer in the slow cooker.
Pour the remaining glaze mixture over the pork chops, making sure they are evenly coated.
Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 4 hours, or until the pork chops are tender and fully cooked (internal temperature should read 145°F/63°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Remove the pork chops from the slow cooker and keep them warm. Pour the glaze liquid into a saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the glaze thickens to your desired consistency.
Return the pork chops to the slow cooker or serve them immediately, drizzled with the thickened glaze.
Pair the sweet glazed pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or steamed rice, and enjoy!
