Directions
Gently heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, quickly sear the pork chops for about a minute on each side until they get a nice light brown color. Then, transfer the chops to your slow cooker. In a saucepan, mix together the cranberries, figs, reserved fig juice, apple juice, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Bring this mixture to a boil, then pour it over the pork in the slow cooker. Cover and cook everything on high for about 4 hours, until the pork is tender and the flavors have melded together.
How To Serve This Dish
Serve this dish with creamy mashed potatoes or roasted root vegetables to soak up the flavorful sauce. A side of steamed green beans or a simple salad adds freshness and balances the richness of the pork.
Storage Suggestions
Let the roast cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze portions and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating gently.
