PEACHY PORK CHOPS - 6 points

By Nana_CAM

Like game, many cuts of pork are complemented by a fruit sauce or glaze. When preparing these chops, you could easily substitute apricot preserves or orange marmalade for the peach preserves--with equally delicious results.

These flavorful chops go well with quick-cooking brown rice or mild Israeli cousous.

Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine the peach preserves, garlic, mustard, soy sauce, orange juice, and crushed red pepper in a small bowl.

2. Sprinkle the chops with the salt and black pepper. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Saute' the pork chops until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes on each side, transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Add the peach mixture to the skillet; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the chops.
