Weekend Cooking: Autumn Glazed Pork Chops

Straight from Jillian Michael's online weight loss program, I give you a delicious, healthy meal:

Autumn Glazed Pork Chops

How To:

Ingredients

• 4 pork, boneless loin chops, 3/4-inch thick
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper, black ground
• 1/4 cup(s) apple cider, or juice
• 1/2 cup(s) cranberry sauce, whole
• 2 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoon orange juice concentrate, frozen
• 1/4 teaspoon ginger, ground
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, ground

Preparation

Spray a large nonstick skillet with nonstick coating. Heat over medium-high heat.

Sprinkle both sides of chops with pepper. Brown chops on each side in hot skillet. Add apple cider. Cover tightly; cook over low heat for 5-6 minutes or until chops are just done. Drain off juices.

In a small bowl combine cranberry sauce, honey, orange juice concentrate, ginger and nutmeg. Pour over chops. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until heated through.

Seriously folks, it's delicious. Just don't overcook it like I did.

forgot to take a picture and this was the only one I could find online in the five seconds I had to look to be honest my plate looked much better than this :)

Change it Up: I made almost-but-not-quite doubled the sauce which worked out really well. What can I say? I like it saucy. I do wonder if this would be a good meal for the slow cooker....

Pair it With: I took Jillian's advice - baked sweet potato and roasted cauliflower - and it was absolutely delicious. Even the hubby and the daughter liked it, so this was a real winner for my family.
