Slow Cooker Peach BBQ Pork Recipe

Cook Time:  About 5 hours

Difficulty:  Easy

Updated 1/30/2024.

Do you have a slow cooker (crockpot, Instapot, etc.)? Is it in your closet? Slow cookers are one of the best kitchen inventions ever, and they have finally received the respect they deserve! You place the ingredients inside, turn it on, and walk away until your meal is finished hours later. It is like having an extra helper in the kitchen, and who doesn't like an additional helper for mealtime?

Of all the recipes I have made in my slow cooker (meatballs, soup, chili, pot roast, etc.), pulled pork is one of my family's favorites! Tangy, smoky, sweet, it makes me weak in the knees! Pulled pork is perfect for casual get-togethers, game day celebrations, outdoor barbeques, etc. This recipe has all that "lip-smacking flavor" in one punch but with a twist! The key ingredient? Cherchies® Vidalia Onion Peach Salsa!

This peachy BBQ pork recipe is delightfully balanced with tang, smokiness, sweetness, and heat. My family gave it a thumbs up, which was huge, considering I pulled a switcheroo on them. :) I deviated from their favorite Pulled Pork Recipe and didn't tell them. (It's my thing.) Luckily, it was a huge success and will also be with your family or guests.

So what are you waiting for? Life is short; use your slow cooker (crockpot, Instapot, etc.) more! Grab the ingredients, put them in your slow cooker, turn it on, walk away (don't look back), and allow your "kitchen helper" (slow cooker) to do the work for you! You will have a tender, juicy, mouth-watering, Peachy BBQ Pulled Pork in a few short hours. Delicious! Serve it on rolls with our Homemade Applesauce and Cherchies® Best Darn Coleslaw Recipe (or add to your sandwich) for a complete meal!

You deserve a break, I insist!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree

• pinch Kosher salt

• 2 Tablespoons (Tbsp.) Cherchies® Champagne Mustard

• 1 teaspoon (tsp) ground cinnamon

• 1/8 teaspoon (tsp) nutmeg

• 1/2 teaspoon (tsp) ground ginger

• 1/8 teaspoon (tsp) allspice

• 4 slices Italian, sourdough (our favorite) or any crusty bread

• 2 slices cooked bacon (leftover holiday ham would also work)

• 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

• 1/2 cup grated Monterrey Jack cheese

• 3 Tbsp butter, room temperature

Preparation
Combine the cheddar and Monterrey Jack cheese in a small bowl and set aside.

Mix the pumpkin puree, Cherchies® award-winning Champagne Mustard, salt, and spices in a small bowl.  Spread the mixture (about 1 Tablespoon each) evenly on two slices of bread.  Divide the cheese mixture and sprinkle over the mustard.

Break the bacon slices in half and place two halves over the cheese.  Assemble the sandwiches by placing the other slices of bread over the bacon.  Spread 1 Tbsp butter over the top of each of the sandwiches. Melt the remaining 1 Tbsp of butter in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches (unbuttered side) in a skillet and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes or until the cheese begins to melt and the bread begins to toast.

Carefully flip sandwiches and cook on the second side for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is toasted. The idea is to cook it slowly until the cheese is melted without burning the bread.   Remove from heat.   Slice in half and enjoy!

Pumpkin Patch Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe

Cook Time: 25 Minutes  Difficulty: Easy

Pumpkin Spice and everything nice! It's Fall, and what better way to celebrate the season than to jump on the pumpkin "haywagon!" I would be remiss if I didn't share this delicious muffin recipe with you. These moist pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are the best we've ever had! Period. The secret ingredient? Apple Butter!

Our daughter made this recipe in her Family Consumer Science Class (that's fancy for Home Ec-ok I'm dating myself), and yesterday being one of those dreary, rainy days, was the perfect time to make something together.

In one of those rare teenage moments, our 13-year-old daughter was in the mood for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins yesterday and wanted to make them with me! (I was cool again, so I jumped at the opportunity:) I suggested we cut out the oil and try her recipe with apple butter! It worked! These pumpkin chocolate chip muffins were super moist with the perfect balance of fall spice and everything nice (like my daughter;).

You need to add this recipe to your favorite Fall recipes. You will not be disappointed, but grab one for yourself, as they will disappear right before your eyes! This recipe would also make a fantastic pumpkin chocolate chip bread. Happy baking!

Ingredients

• 1 cup canned pumpkin

• 1/2 cup Cherchies® Apple Butter Spread

• 1/2 cup water

• 1/4 cups sugar

• 2 eggs

• 1 2/3 cups flour (we have also tested this recipe with King Arthur’s Measure for Measure Gluten Free flour with great results)

• 1 teaspoon (tsp) cinnamon

• 1 teaspoon (tsp) baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon (tsp) baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon (tsp) salt

• 1/4 teaspoon (tsp) nutmeg

• 1/4 teaspoon (tsp) ground cloves

• 1 cup chocolate chips

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  
In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin, Cherchies® Apple Butter Spread, sugar, water, and eggs.  Beat until well mixed.  Set aside.  

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cloves.

Slowly add the pumpkin mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Spoon the batter into a 12 cup muffin tin, lined with paper baking cups.

Bake the muffins for 25 minutes or until muffins are cooked.  Insert a toothpick and if the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done!  Cool for at least 10 minutes, then serve them plain, buttered or with cream cheese.  Serve warm.  Enjoy!
Yield: 12 muffins
