DEEP-FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH SWEET AND SPICY RED PEPPER JELLY

Steps:

• For the pepper jelly: Combine the sugar, vinegar, pineapple juice, roasted bell peppers and jalapeno. Blend using a food processor or immersion blender. Place the puree in a 2-quart saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Add the pectin and continue to boil for 60 seconds, at which point add the frozen peppers to stop the cooking process. Pour the jelly into a metal container and chill in an ice bath for about 1 hour until it sets, or overnight in the refrigerator.
• For the pork chops: Using the toothy side of a meat tenderizer, pound the pork chops to about 1/2-inch thickness. Add the blackening seasoning, salt and pepper to the flour and mix thoroughly. Dredge the chops in the seasoned flour, dip in the buttermilk and then back into the flour (using one hand to work in the flour, and the other for dipping in the buttermilk). Allow to rest for at least a minute or so to allow the breader to set up.
• Pour the oil into a deep, heavy pot (cast iron is best), enough so that the pork chop has room to float, but there needs to be a few inches of clearance so that it doesn't overflow when you are frying. Heat the oil to 355 degrees F. Use a deep-fry thermometer to get the temperature right; too high and your food will burn on the outside before it is cooked on the inside, and too low your food will come out greasy and soggy.
• Gently the drop pork chops, 1 or 2 at a time, into the oil; don't crowd the pot. Fry until golden brown on the outside, about 7 minutes. Serve with the pepper jelly.

SWEET-AND-SAUCY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Season pork chops with salt and sprinkle evenly with 1/2 tsp. sugar. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook chops, undisturbed, until well browned underneath, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook just until second side is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Transfer chops to a plate (they won't be fully cooked); reduce heat to medium.
• Pour remaining 1 Tbsp. oil into same skillet and add shallot and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until softened and just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
• Add vinegar and remaining 1 tsp. sugar to skillet. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, until vinegar is nearly evaporated, about 2 minutes.
• Add rosemary, capers, and 1/2 cup water to skillet; season with salt. Reduce heat as needed to maintain a very low simmer. Add butter and swirl pan continuously (and vigorously) until sauce becomes smooth, glossy, and emulsified.
• Return pork chops to skillet, arranging darker side up. Simmer gently in sauce, swirling occasionally, until chops are cooked through, about 3 minutes (a thermometer inserted near the bones should register 135°F).
• Transfer pork chops to plates and spoon sauce over.

SPICY & SWEET PORK CHOP STEAKS FOR TWO

Steps:

• Chop the onion, and the garlic if you are using fresh garlic and not the jarred minced version.
• In a bowl mix the water, onion, garlic, jam, salsa and salt together until well mixed.
• It's okay to taste it a little bit so that you can see if you need to add more of something, but don't over-do it!
• Next take out the pork.
• Leave the chops whole, but with a knife cut random areas so that the mix's juices that you made will go through the pork.
• In any cooking pot with a lid (that will allow you to put two pork chops into it)- throw the sauce into the pot.
• Place the pork chops also into the pot.
• With a spoon dig up some of the sauce in the pan and put some of it on the top of the pork chops.
• Turn your stove on with a medium to high heat, until the sauce starts to heat up.
• Then lower the heat enough (medium heat), and now cover, and allow to cook well, flipping it over every 8-10 minutes.
• Remember to keep putting the sauce on the sides of the pan on top of the pork every time you flip them over.
• Don't let the sauce burn into the bottom of the pot.
• When done, the sauce should not be too watery.
• Top with the sauce that you made to cook the pork with into a plate.
• Serve with rice!
• My husband loves this quick to make and cook dish!
• Note: If you want to add more pork for more people just increase the salsa and jam.
• And add the rest of the ingredients to your taste.

SWEET N SPICY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Line large broiler pan with foil (if not using heavy duty foil. line it twice, makes for easy clean up) Also. you just need the bottom of the pan, not the rack.
• Place chops in pan, and season heavily with, pepper, and garlic (and note I mean HEAVY). Lightly salt, if desired. Then top with about 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Place under broiler, (if using gas - use 2nd from top slot, if electric, either 2nd from top, or 3rd). If chops are really thick, for gas broiler, put on bottom slot.
• Cook about 10 - 15 minutes, until sugar is bubbly and turning quite dark. The dark color is mostly just the sugar getting brown, not the meat.
• Turn chops, then repeat with spices and sugar (yes another 2 tablespoons), and cook another 10 or 15 minutes, till done. Just keep watching them to make sure they don't burn, but remember the sugar is going to bubble and get dark, so account for that--just make sure pork is cooked totally through (or to the doneness you prefer). Cooking time is of course going to vary based on how thick your chops are.
• Hope you enjoy.

BRINED SWEET AND SPICY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients for brine in a large non-reactive container, making sure salt and sugar are dissolved well. Place pork chops in brine and place in refrigerator overnight.
• Once you are ready to cook, rinse pork chops and pat dry. Season with salt and cracked black pepper (make sure not to add too much salt because the pork chops absorb salt from the brine as well.).
• Heat a skillet and melt the butter. Once the pan is hot, add pork chops and cook until done, adding more butter if needed. Once pork chops are done, remove from skillet and set aside.
• Add jalapeño strips and cook for about 2 minuted to release the flavor. Add more butter if needed.
• Add pineapple chunks, reserving the juice. Add grape tomatoes. Cook for about 1 minute.

• Serve and enjoy!
