You could use orange marmalade instead of peach preserves, or apricot preserves would be great too...endless possibilities.

Servings - 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 4 pork chops
  • 2 cups orange juice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4-6 sweet potatoes, steam baked
  • butter or margarine
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2-3 cups frozen veggies, green beans in our case, or other favorite side dish

Instructions

  • Marinate the pork chops in a plastic bag of baking dish in the orange juice.
  • Start steam-baking the sweet potatoes.
  • Then pour the pork chops and the orange juice "marinade" into a large skillet. Turn heat on and bring the juice to boiling. Sprinkle cinnamon, ginger, salt and pepper to the top side of the pork chops. Cover and reduce heat to medium and cook for about 6 minutes. Then flip the pork chops over, season the other side with the same spices, and put the cover back on and cook until the pork chops are cooking through, another 6 to 8 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on thickness of the pork chops. If all the juice boils off, add a little water to prevent burning.
  • Once the sweet potatoes have cooked through, remove the skin carefully and mash in a mixing bowl with the butter and cinnamon.
  • Prepare other veggies as directed.
  • Serve Orange Glazed Pork Chops with sweet potatoes and veggies.
