Line the crock of the slow cooker with a slow cooker liner for easy clean up.
Season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Pour oil to cover the bottom of a skillet; heat on medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Brown chops on both sides; remove to the slow cooker.
Lower the heat in the skillet; add onions, shallots and garlic with a dash of water; saute several minutes. Scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add brown bits, juices from skillet and onions to the slow cooker; add the peaches to the slow cooker.
Whisk together the sauce ingredients; pour over the peaches and chops. Cook on Low 6-7 hours.
Carefully remove the chops from the slow cooker. If wanting them to stay whole, use extra care, using a spatula or a large spoon. Set aside.
Remove any bone fragments in the slow cooker. Puree liquid in a blender or food processor. Adjust the seasonings, to taste.
Serve the pork chops topped with the sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
