Ingredients
  

Pork Chops
  • 4 pork chops bone-in or boneless, 1-inch thick
Glaze
  • 0.5 cup apricot jelly or preferred fruit jelly
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika optional
  • fresh rosemary for garnish
  • lemon wedges for serving

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Skillet
  • Basting brush
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

  1. Pat pork chops dry and season with black pepper and smoked paprika.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine apricot jelly, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Stir until smooth.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Brush glaze over both sides of each pork chop. Cook 2–3 minutes per side, spooning extra glaze over chops.
  5. Check that internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from skillet and rest 3–5 minutes.
  6. Plate pork chops, drizzle with remaining glaze, garnish with rosemary and serve with lemon wedges.

For extra flavor, try different fruit jellies or add a pinch of chili flakes to the glaze.
