Ingredients

  • 1 (15 ounce) can apricot halves, undrained
  • 4 (3/4 inch thick) bone-in pork loin chops
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place apricots in a food processor or blender; cover and process until coarsely chopped. In a large skillet, brown pork chops in butter over medium-high heat. Add apricots. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 7-10 minutes or until meat juices run clear.
  2. Remove the chops and keep warm. Combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir into apricot mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Serve over pork chops.
