Pork Chop Recipes:
Balsamic-Maple Pork Chops

I'm always on the lookout for new quick pork chop recipes. Pork is one of the few things that every member of my family enjoys.

This recipe has two of our favorite ingredients: maple syrup and balsamic vinegar. The combination of those flavors is delicious!

Since it uses fast-fry chops, it makes a very quick meal.

If you don't have real maple syrup, please don't substitute "pancake syrup" or "table syrup". Use honey instead.

Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your pork chops. Cook until they are no longer pink inside.

I like to serve this with corn and mashed potatoes.

1 Tbsp/15 mL butter

1 Tbsp/15 mL vegetable oil

1 lb/500 g boneless fast-fry pork chops

salt

pepper

1/4 cup/60 mL minced onion

3/4 cup/175 mL apple juice

1 Tbsp/15 mL maple syrup

1 Tbsp/15 mL balsamic vinegar

In a large heavy frying pan, heat the butter and oil over medium-high heat.

Add the pork chops. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Cook the chops until cooked (3 to 10 minutes), turning once. Remove the chops and set them aside.

Add the onions to the pan. Sauté briefly.

Stir in the apple juice. Turn up the heat and boil for about 3 minutes, stirring.

Add the maple syrup and balsamic vinegar. Turn down the heat and simmer for about 2 minutes.

Return the chops to the pan for about one more minute, or until heated through.
