APRICOT GLAZED PORK CHOPS

By curly

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup apricot preserves
• 1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 4 boneless pork loin chops (1 inch thick and 6 ounces each)

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the preserves, dressing and mustard. Pour 3/4 cup marinade into a large resealable bag; add the pork. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.

Drain and discard marinade. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack.

Grill chops, covered, over medium heat or broil 4-5 in. from the heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°, basting frequently with reserved marinade. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Yield: 4 servings.
