Crock Pot Pork Chops with Raspberry Balsamic Chipotle Sauce.
WW Friendly Crock Pot Pork Chops with Raspberry Balsamic Chipotle Sauce
I got the idea from a great little cookbook, Southwest Slow Cooking (affiliate link), that I picked up last week during an excursion to one of my favorite used book shops.
Crock Pot Raspberry Balsamic Chipotle Pork Chops Recipe Notes
I adapted the recipe a bit, cutting WAY BACK on the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, which are VERY HOT and adding in a little balsamic vinegar.
Chipotles in Adobo Sauce
Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce are jalapeño peppers that have been smoked and dried. The peppers are then canned in a tangy sweet spicy tomato-based sauce where they plumb back up (rehydrate). If you are unfamiliar with chipotles in adobo, here's a great article from Our Best Bites all about them.
The recipe calls for a lot of jam, but it thins out during cooking.
You only need a few tablespoons of sauce to top your pork when serving, so most of the calories/points are left behind in the crock pot 🙂
