* Pamela *'s Note:

Adapted from "Prevention's Freezer Cookbook" by S. Sanders. Can be made without freezing first, just be sure to marinate chops at least 6 hours before cooking for best flavour.

• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon paprika

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 6 boneless pork chops

Directions:

5. To serve, remove chops from bag and place in a non-stick skillet; reserve marinade.
6. Cook for 5 minutes, or until brown, repeat for other side.
7. Add marinade, and reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook for 7 minutes, or until chops are no longer pink in the middle. Transfer pork to a plate and cover. Turn heat to high and whisk for 3-5 minutes until sauce is thick. Spoon over pork. Pork Chops can also be made on the BBQ/Grill if desired.

I followed this recipe exactly and did the OAMC freezing right away. This recipe was just ok. I left the sauce on the side and boy was I glad I did. The citrus was all I could taste with the sauce, but the pork itself was ok. The 1 package left in the freezer will be enough for us. I wont be making this again.

My first time trying a marinade for pork. It's delicious and really tenderizes the meat.

Terrific! I loved the marinade...as did my kids and husband. If you don't like a strong citrus taste then I would reduce the amount of lime and lemon you use.
