Really tasty! The Apricot mixture caramelizes nicely on the chop to give it a yumm-alicious crust. Used a frozen Asian veggie mix and chopped chives. Made for Potluck in Games.

Looks beautiful, tastes amazing. I had unexpected guests for dinner and I thought they might lick their plates they liked it so much! I used sesame oil rather than vegetable oil and served it with rice rather than noodles.

Oh my this was great. The only thing I would change would be to double the sauce to put in the noodles. The pork chops were done to perfection and the sauce was great.

Wonderful, easy, fast recipe for pork chops! Very good directions. I used fast fry pork chops, done to perfection. I used fresh grated ginger. Next time I will use a bit more snow peas as they are our favorites. I used purchaced apricot preserves but now I have a fantastic recipe and will be making my own this year. Thanks Susie for another great recipe one that will go in the binder!

This is a great recipe. The glaze is so simple to make and very tasty and the cooking method ensures the chops are very tender and juicy. I think I will always cook pork chops this way from now on. I hope you didn't mind but I didn't serve with the noodles as the recipe suggested but instead served with broccoli, and potatoes. The extra sauce I heated up in the microwave and used as a sauce for the chops and potatoes. Definite keeper for us.
