APRICOT GLAZED PORK CHOPS

Apricot glazed pork chops

I have been making the pork chops this way for the longest time. The sweetness of the apricots enhances the pork. You can use thick or thin ones for this recipe. I used the thicker cut this time. The thin ones cook really fast so be careful not to overcook them. Pork when done right is tender and juicy. Today I served them with yams and broccoli. Corn on the cob is another great choice when it is in season.

Sauce Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ medium onions chopped

2 large garlic cloves minced

1   10 ounce jar of Polaner all fruit apricot preserves

Pinch of pepper

Dash of soy sauce

2 thick cut pork chops

Heat a small pot with olive oil. Place the onion in and let cook about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.  Stir in the apricot preserves, pepper and soy sauce. Cook until it is heated through. Take out about 3 tablespoons of the sauce and brush it on the pork chops until coated on both sides. The sauce will caramelize on the pork chop and enhance the flavor. Grill them until they are done.  Pour remaining sauce over the top and serve.
