I’m always looking for ways to use maple syrup, so I can
justify keeping it on hand. Here’s a
delicious way to prepare pork chops. Don’t
overcook the meat so it stays tender and juicy. This recipe is quick, and everyone will like it.
Maple Dijon Pork Chops
4 Pork Loin Chops -- about 6 ounces each
1 Teaspoon Minced Fresh Thyme or 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
½ Teaspoon
Salt
½ Teaspoon
Pepper
1
Tablespoon Olive Oil
¼ Cup
Water or White Wine
¼ Cup
Maple Syrup
1
Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
Sprinkle
pork chops with thyme, salt and pepper. In a large skillet,
Brown chops
in oil. Remove and keep warm.
Add
remaining ingredients to skillet. Bring to a boil; cook until
liquid is
reduced by half.
Return pork
chops to skillet. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-12
minutes or
until meat is tender, turning once. Serve with sauce.
Yield: 4
servings.
I'm definitely going to try these chops, but that side dish of rice looks amazing too. Do you have a recipe for that too? :)

Mmmmmm ... I love maple! Plus we just butchered the first of two pigs, so we're "high on the hog" as they say, and I needed some new and interesting recipes - thanks!!
