I actually am doing my own spin of sangria pork chops. I’ve done pork spare ribs in past with a similar recipe. It’s 3 am, put pork chops in crock pot just now for 10 hours.
Other night made sangria at home but accident poured balsamic in glass instead of red wine. I saved it tho to cook with. Poured some in, with orange slices, cherry juice, a little broth I had in hand, ginger, garlic roasted red peppers, a touch of red wine, a little red pepper flakes, black pepper, a dash of soy, some honey…. Can’t wait.
I hope you love it, Shannon!
Haven’t even finished cooking it.. but OMG already delicious from the crockpot!
