Pork Chops with Orange-Dijon Sauce

(This is from the crockpot Supper Club a couple of months ago. Got it from "Biggest Book of Slow-Cooker Recipes")

6 boneless pork sirloin chops (I used beef steaks)
salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried, crushed thyme
1 cup orange marmalade (I didn't have enough marmalade, so I used 1/2 cup marmalade, 1/2 cup blackberry preserves.)
1/3 cup Dijon-style mustard

Sprinkle both sides of chops lightly with salt and pepper and thyme. Place chops in slow cooker. In a bowl combine marmalade and mustard. Remove 2 tablespoons of the mixture; cover and refrigerate. Combine remaining mixture and 1/4 cup water. Pour over chops. Cook on low setting 6 to 7 hours or high setting 3 to 3 1/2 hours. (Optional- spread reserved marmalade mixture over finished chops)
