Maple Peach Pork Chops Food

MAPLE MUSTARD PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat a nonstick skillet on stove with the butter and oil on medium heat. The oil will help keep the butter from burning.
• Combine the flour, salt and pepper in a ziptop bag. Add pork slices and shake to cover lightly. Shake off any excess.
• Add pork to oil/butter in skillet. Lightly brown in batches. It will finish cooking in the sauce so don't worry about cooking through. Remove from skillet as it browns.
• Combine water, maple syrup, mustard, salt and pepper in skillet and whisk till hot and bubbley. Add pork back in to sauce and cook over med-low heat for 20 minutes or till cooked through. The flour from the pork will thicken the sauce.
• We like to serve it with rice-a-roni and a veggie.

MAPLE PORK AND PEACH SKEWERS

Steps:

• If using bamboo skewers, soak them in one cup of chardonnay for 30 minutes prior to use.
• Rub pork all over with garlic-pepper seasoning.
• Cut chops into bite-size pieces and place in a glass utility dish.
• Blend maple syrup and Chardonnay. Pour over pork and let marinate for 15 minutes.
• Drain marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil; cook one minute.
• Alternate pork with pieces of peach and onions on skewers.
• Grill over moderate for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with marinade.
• Serve over couscous, garnished with fresh herbs, if desired.

MAPLE-GLAZED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a medium skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Stir in maple syrup, brown sugar, and honey; bring to a simmer. When glaze is rapidly simmering, turn off heat.
• Pour water into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Place pork chops in the water and surround with peach and bell pepper slices. Slowly pour glaze over chops, peaches, and peppers.
• Bake in the preheated oven, turning halfway, until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

MAPLE PECAN PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the mustard, pepper and 2 teaspoons syrup. Brush over both sides of pork chops. In a large nonstick skillet, brown pork in butter over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side. Add apple juice. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until meat is tender. Remove chops and keep warm.
• Add pecans and remaining syrup to the skillet; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until blended. Serve over pork chops.
