APRICOT GLAZED PORK CHOPS



APRICOT GLAZED PORK CHOPS image

Categories     Pork

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut loin pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/3 cup apricot preserves
1/3 cup riesling or other slightly sweet white wine
1/2 teaspoon bottled ground fresh ginger (such as Spice World)

Steps:

  • Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over pork. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add pork. Cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove pork from pan, and keep warm. Combine preserves, wine, and ginger in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add preserves mixture to pan; simmer 4 minutes or until mixture thickens. Return pork to pan; cook 1 minute, turning to coat.

Tips:

  • Select the right pork chops: Choose bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help them stay juicy during cooking.
  • Brine the pork chops: Brining the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar helps to tenderize them and keep them moist. You can brine the pork chops for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Use a good quality apricot jam: The apricot jam is the key ingredient in this recipe, so be sure to use a good quality jam that you enjoy the taste of. You can also use other fruit jams, such as peach or cherry jam, if you prefer.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat helps to prevent them from drying out. You should cook the pork chops for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • Baste the pork chops with the apricot glaze: Basting the pork chops with the apricot glaze helps to keep them moist and flavorful. You should baste the pork chops every few minutes during cooking.

Conclusion:

Apricot glazed pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the apricot glaze is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
