The maple glaze in this recipe is an excellent accent to the pork - a meat that loves to be paired with sweet. The dish reminds me of my New England days, but is far beyond a regional specialty. I like to brine the chops before cooking and sear them off to get nice crusty outside an a just cooked through center.
Ingredients
- Pork Chops
