Apricot Pork Chops

Today I am giving you two tasty recipes. The first one is cooked in a frypan and is pretty quick, however the no 2 recipe is for a crockpot so  if you are working that one may b e more convenient for you. I would serve  them on steamed Basmati rice, but they would be just as yummy served with mashed potatoes and salad. For some reason the pork goes so well with the Apricots, a really delicious feast!

Enjoy!

4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2  cup  apricot preserves
  • 2  teaspoons  Dijon mustard
  • 1  teaspoon  bottled minced garlic
  • 1  teaspoon  low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2  teaspoon  Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/8  teaspoon  ground cinnamon
  • 1/8  teaspoon  black pepper
  • 8  (4-ounce) pork loin chops, trimmed
  • Cooking spray

Now:

Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl; set aside. Combine salt, cinnamon, and pepper, and sprinkle over both sides of pork. Add pork to pan; cook 5 minutes on each side or until they are cooked. Remove frypan from heat; add apricot mixture, turning the pork to coat. Serve up the chops and spoon remaining apricot mixture evenly over chops.
