I made this the other night from a recipezaar member it was nothing to do with the swap I have been in but it sounded so good I thought I would try it. I am so glad I did, it was excellent. I did not make this with pork chops as they did not look the best when I went to buy them, so I bought pork fillet steaks instead. I also cooked mine under the grill as I did not get home in time to fire up the BBQ as I had hoped. I would recommend this one, we all thought it was very good and the glaze complimented the pork so well. I served mine over celeriac mash and it was really good.
Method
1 Cup apricot jam
3 Tablespoons cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 Teaspoon soy sauce
2 Teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1/4 Teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 (2 lb) Pork chops, 1-inch thick
Salt and pepper, to taste
Ingredients
1. Preheat grill to med-hot fire.
2. In a small pan, combine the jam and vinegar. Over a low heat, cook until jam melts. Stir the mixture constantly.
3. Add the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, cayenne pepper. Remove from heat, and set the glaze aside.
4. Trim pork chops. Lightly brush chops with oil.
5. Add pepper.
6. Place chops on a well-oiled grill.
7. Brush glaze on one side of chops, flip over chops, and cook 2-3 minutes.
8. Brush glaze on the other side, flip the chops over, and cook 2-3 more minutes on that side.
9. Cut center to check for doneness. You want a light pink blush near the bone.
10. Use remaining glaze on chops at the table.
