Ok, here is a recipe I have actually made ---- and made many many times, for over 20 years. You can also make it with chicken, or beef - I even made it once with shrimp. I've added pineapple when I had part of a can leftover in the fridge and it was really good. I have also added green or red bell pepper. I've taken the left overs, added a few canned black beans, or even leftover corn and filled corn or flour tortillas too to make yummy soft tacos/burritos. It doesn't really taste "peach-y" - but the jam gives it a certain richness. It came out of a booklet that I got from the Pork Producers at a big food fair event I went to - maybe 25 years ago? Everyone I have served it to has asked for the recipe. Very easy to make.
I always roughly chop a large onion and start it sautéing in the oil in the skillet and when it is about half done, I add the pork. We really like the onion added to the dish. A little chopped garlic never hurts either.
But, here is the recipe as written in the booklet....
Peachy Pork Picante
Coat one pound cubed boneless pork loin with taco seasoning. Add an 8-ounce jar of salsa and 4 tablespoons peach preserves to skillet, stir to mix well, cover, and lower heat. Simmer gently for 15 minutes or until meat is tender. Serve over freshly steamed rice. 4 servings.
