Tasty Pork Chops

By: Carolyn Huddlestun

"'My husband has always preferred beef to pork,' writes Carolyn Huddelestun of Rockford, Illinois. 'But after I prepared pork this way, he's often asked me to make it again. We like this best served with rice or mashed potatoes.'"

Original Recipe Yield 2 servings

Ingredients

1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon reduced sodium soy sauce
2 bone-in pork chops (1/2 inch thick and 6 ounces each)
2 teaspoons canola oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the orange juice, brown sugar, vinegar and soy sauce; set aside. In a large skillet, brown pork chops on both sides in oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 10 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F. Remove and keep warm.
In the same skillet, saute onion for 2-3 minutes. Add orange juice mixture; cook and stir until heated through. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into pan juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve over chops.
