I enjoy making this slow cooker peach glazed dish because it comes together with very little effort and delivers a rich balance of sweet and savory flavors. The slow cooking process makes the chops incredibly tender, while the peach glaze slowly thickens and coats everything beautifully for a comforting, satisfying meal.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I like this recipe because it is simple, hands-off, and perfect for busy days. The slow cooker allows the flavors to develop slowly, and the peach glaze adds a gentle sweetness that pairs perfectly with a savory main dish. I also appreciate how easy it is to customize with different seasonings or sides.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
4 bone-in or boneless chops
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups sliced peaches, fresh or frozen
1/3 cup peach preserves
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Directions
I begin by seasoning both sides of the chops with salt and black pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, I warm the olive oil and lightly sear the chops for about 1–2 minutes per side until they develop a light golden color.
I transfer the chops to the slow cooker. In a mixing bowl, I combine the sliced peaches, peach preserves, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and apple cider vinegar, stirring until smooth. I pour this mixture evenly over the chops, making sure they are well coated.
I cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4–5 hours, until the meat is tender and cooked through. Before serving, I spoon extra glaze from the slow cooker over the top.
Servings And Timing
I make this recipe to serve 4 people.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 4–5 hours
Total time: approximately 4 hours 10 minutes
Variations
I sometimes use canned peaches in juice when fresh ones are not available.
I like adding 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes for a subtle spicy kick.
I replace honey with brown sugar when I want a deeper, caramel-like sweetness.
I occasionally add sliced onions to the slow cooker for extra savory flavor.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, I warm everything gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, spooning extra glaze over the top to keep the meat moist.
FAQs
Can I skip searing the chops?
I sometimes skip this step when I am short on time, but I find searing adds extra flavor.
Can I cook this on high instead of low?
I cook it on high for 2–3 hours when needed, but I prefer the texture when cooked on low.
Can I use frozen peaches?
I use frozen peaches often, and they work very well without any changes.
How do I thicken the glaze?
If I want a thicker glaze, I remove the chops at the end and simmer the sauce on the stovetop for a few minutes.
What sides pair well with this dish?
I like serving this with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion
I keep making this slow cooker peach glazed recipe because it is easy, flavorful, and comforting. The tender texture and sweet glaze make it a dependable meal that I enjoy serving any time I want something warm and satisfying without much effort.
