Pork and fruit go so nicely together and when you add fresh herbs, you get this fresh, light and bright main dish that everyone loves.

Ingredients

• 2 jars (23-1/2 ounces each) mixed tropical fruit, drained and chopped
• 3/4 cup thawed limeade concentrate
• 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
• 4 bone-in pork loin chops (3/4 inch thick and 5 ounces each)
• 1 green onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh mint
• 2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger, optional

Directions

1. In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine the first 5 ingredients. Add pork, arranging chops to sit snugly in fruit mixture. Cook, covered, on low until meat is tender (a thermometer inserted into pork should read at least 145°), 3-4 hours.
2. In a small bowl, mix the onion, herbs, almonds and, if desired, ginger. To serve, remove pork chops from slow cooker. Using a slotted spoon, serve fruit over pork. Sprinkle with herb mixture.
