LAMB CHOPS WITH BALSAMIC REDUCTION
This recipe for lamb chops is a favorite in my house. It is an easy and quick recipe for two people (we eat two chops each). Rosemary and thyme give it great flavor. If you double the recipe, remember that the sauce will take longer to reduce.

LAMB CHOPS WITH CRANBERRY SAUCE
This recipe is easy to make and a little different from your usual lamb recipes. Buy chops that have the filet attached, not shoulder chops. They should be apprx 1" thick. Fry for 4 minutes each side for slightly pink. Longer if you want well done. Make the sauce early in the day (or the day before) and reheat while you are cooking the chops. Dinner will be on the table in a few minutes. The sauce is great over your veggies and new potatoes.

CRANBERRY GLAZED LAMB CHOPS
Simple but classy. Lamb draws in flavors from marinades very quickly, so this dish has a fairly quick prep time. Lamb is often paired with mashed or baked potatoes, and those will go well with this dish, but I often serve it with egg pasta (homemade tagliatoni when I'm going all out). A vinegarette-dressed salad is a good match as a vegetable course.

Steps:
- If the chops are particularly thick, place each one between two layers of plastic wrap and gently flatten them using the heel of your hand or a wooden mallet until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
- Combine the cranberry relish, rosemary and vinegar (it sometimes helps to warm the cranberry relish a bit in the microwave or a small saucepan). Put half of the cranberry mixture in a container large enough to hold all the chops - this is the marinade. Set aside the second half of the mixture to use later as the glaze.
- Toss the chops with the cranberry marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat oven broiler.
- When the broiler is ready, take the chops out of the fridge. Wipe off the marinade, sprinkle the chops with salt and pepper, and place them on a rack and broiling pan.
- Position the pan close to the source of heat and broil chops 4 minutes. Brush chops with half of the glaze, broil for another minute. Turn the chops over and broil 2-3 minutes longer. Brush on remaining glaze and broil about a minute longer or until chops are medium-rare or of desired doneness.
EASY ORANGE CRANBERRY GLAZE
A good, easy, yummy glaze that can be used on chicken or turkey. I came up with this a few years ago for Thanksgiving, to change up the old boring turkey. Everyone loved it. There was no left-over turkey that year.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled with fat and have a bright red color. Avoid chops that are dull or have a slimy texture.
- Trim the lamb chops: Remove any excess fat from the chops, leaving a thin layer of fat on the outside. This will help the chops cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
- Season the lamb chops: Season the chops with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also use a pre-made spice blend for lamb.
- Make the cranberry glaze: Combine cranberries, sugar, orange juice, and zest in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the cranberries have burst and the glaze has thickened.
- Cook the lamb chops: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness. Brush the chops with cranberry glaze during the last minute of cooking.
- Let the lamb chops rest: Remove the lamb chops from the grill or skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and the chops to become more tender.
Conclusion:
Cranberry-glazed lamb chops are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion dinner. The sweet and tart cranberry glaze complements the savory lamb chops perfectly, and the chops are cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
