It must be something in the autumn air, but lately, we’ve been pretty obsessed with two things in particular:  – especially as a glaze! – and ! We’ve brought them together before – if you haven’t tried our yet, you’re missing out! – but we thought it was time to try it on regular pork chops. The result?

Seriously, friends, these pork chops are so good. Watch us make them for you, then read on for the recipe so you can make them TONIGHT! 

 

Honey Balsamic Glazed Pork Chops

Serves 4
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
• ¼ cup honey
• ¼ cup apricot jam
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha hot sauce
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 pounds pork chops
• 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 to 6 sprigs rosemary

DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, apricot jam, Dijon mustard, Sriracha sauce and garlic. Mix well.
2. Place the pork chops in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade into the bag over the pork chops. Seal the bag and toss to evenly coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
3. Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Gently shake any excess marinade off of the pork chops, reserving the excess marinade for later. Add the shaken pork chops to the sauté pan, cover with 3 to 4 rosemary sprigs and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, until golden brown.
4. Flip the pork chops, add the reserved marinade and the remaining rosemary sprigs. Bring the added reserved marinade to a boil. Cook another 3 to 5 minutes, until the pork chops are done and the sauce has thickened.
