Pork Chops Mole
Pork Chops Mole'
from Cooking Light magazine

1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes with garlic and onion, undrained
½ ounce semisweet chocolate, grated
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cumin
¼ cup minced fresh cilantro
Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Cook chops 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove from pan. Add water to pan, scraping to loosen browned bits. Pour mixture over chops. Cover and set aside.
Reheat pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell peppers, and jalapeno pepper, cook 4 minutes or until tender. Stir in tomatoes, cook 1 minute. Add chocolate and next 4 ingredients (chocolate through cumin). Add the pork chops; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with cilantro. Yield: 4 servings (serving size 1 pork chop and 2/3 cup sauce).

Easy Slow Cooker Ham
Original recipe from allrecipes.albertsons.com, with a few changes
1 (6 pound) butt portion ham
30 whole cloves
3 cups apple juice, or as needed
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons ground cloves
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 orange's peel, grated
Press whole cloves into the ham so they are evenly distributed. You may score the ham for easier insertion if you wish. Place the ham in a slow cooker. Pour in apple juice until only about 2 inches of ham is above the surface. Pack the brown sugar on top of the ham, pressing into the cloves. This will get washed away in the next step but any that stays on the ham is a bonus.
Pour the maple syrup over the ham. Season the apple cider with cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves and vanilla. Add the orange peel to the pot. Fill the slow cooker as full as you can with apple cider without going over the fill line. Cover and set to low. Cook for 8 to 10 hours.
