VARIATIONS: Use plum preserves and fresh plums in place of the peaches. Reduced sugar peach jam may be used.
TIPS:
Additional peach preserves, fresh peach slices, or lemon juice can be added after cooking to brighten up the sauce.
It is not a typo, this pork can be done in as fast as 1 hour. Make sure to only cook until the internal temperature of the pork is 145 F.
If the peach preserves are too sweet (every brand has a varying amount of sugar) add more lemon juice or fresh peaches. Adjust salt level with more soy sauce or regular salt.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Slice pork before serving. Serve over rice and topped with the thickened pot juices. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Pairs well with a simple tossed green salad, green beans, or peas.
