2 acorn squash (2 lb.), cut lengthwise in half, seeded
1 large onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
6 bone-in pork chops (2-1/4 lb.), 1/2 inch thick
1/2 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup apricot jam
1 Tbsp. GREY POUPON Dijon Mustard
1 tsp. dried thyme leaves
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
2 Tbsp. cornstarch

Steps:

Cut each squash half into 3 wedges; place in slow cooker. Top with onions, garlic and chops. Mix broth, jam, mustard, thyme and pepper until blended; pour over chops. Cover with lid.
Cook on LOW 5 to 6 hours (or on HIGH 2-1/2 to 3 hours). Transfer chops and vegetables to platter; cover to keep warm.
