Pork Chops With Black Currant Preserve Recipes

PORK CHOPS WITH BLACK CURRANT PRESERVE

• Cover the chops, reduce the heat, and cook for 20 minutes or until chops are done. Transfer to a platter and keep warm in the oven.
• Remove fat from the skillet. Add the vinegar, set the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring and scraping up the brown bits. When the sauce is reduced by a third, pour it over the chops and serve immediately.

PORK CHOPS WITH BLACK CURRANT PRESERVES (THE SILVER PALATE)

• Cover pan, reduce heat, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the chops are done. Transfer them to a plate and keep warm in the oven.

PORK CHOPS WITH JAMMY-MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup water, the preserves and the mustard. Set near the stove. Pat the pork chops dry, and season all over with salt and pepper.
• In a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the pork chops and cook, occasionally pressing down to make good contact with the skillet, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, flip the chops and cook until opaque on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the jam-mustard mixture, turn off the heat, and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Transfer the chops to plates, then return the skillet to medium-low heat and simmer, scraping up browned bits, until the sauce has thickened slightly, 1 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Every jam is different, so if it's too sweet, add more mustard, salt or black pepper; if it's too salty, add a little more jam; if it's too intense or thick, add a little more water; if it's flat, add salt. Spoon sauce over the pork chops.

BLACK CURRANT JAM PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together the jam and mustard. Pan fry chops in a nonstick pan. Just before the chops are done, top each chop with the jam-mustard mixture. Cover the pan and cook for final two minutes.
• Remove the cover and remove each chop to a warmed plate. Cool pan to a warm-not hot-temperature.
• Pour wine vinegar into the pan and stir to remove bits of pork and jam. Pour sauce over each chop. Add fresh ground pepper, if desired. Garnish with an orange slice and serve immediately.
