Smoked Pork Chops with Spicy Apricot Sauce

By Sharmd

Most smoked chops are fully cooked and only need heating through.

Ingredients

• 4 Smithfield Smoked Pork Chops, about 1 inch thick
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 jalapeno chile, seeded and minced
• 1/2 cup apricot jam or preserves
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; brown chops on both sides (1-2 minutes per side), remove from pan and set aside, keep warm. Saute; onion, garlic and jalapeno in oil until tender, about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in jam and vinegar, heat through; add chops back to pan, turn chops to coat both sides with sauce, and simmer gently to heat through, about 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately.
