Had this with company and enjoyed their compliments. I reduced the liquid to a thick sauce and it was good. Applesauce is not necessary for pork any longer!! Keep the recipes coming Bergy.

Another winner from Bergy! Since I already had the oven on for dessert, I decided to convert this to a baked dish: I had 6 chops, so I doubled the sauce (using a thick-cut orange marmalade) and set it aside. I then browned the chops in some olive oil, arranged them in an oblong baking dish, and poured the sauce over; covered tight with foil, it went into a 375F oven. I then put my rice cooker on. The chops baked, covered, for 55 minutes. I served the (defatted) sauce on the side, to spoon over the chops and rice (we also had green beans). This was easy to whip up, with ingredients I always have on hand. I did eliminate the green onions, and subbed Tabasco for the crushed pepper...and because it was a family dinner, I didn't bother with the orange garnish. This was a delicious dinner thoroughly enjoyed by all; I even picked up the pork chop bones to get every good bit! I know I will make this often.

Sorry to dissent but these pork chops are just okay. My sauce never thickened and the taste was alright.

Delish! After the first bite, DH said "wow, this sauce is really good." I didn't have quite enough preserves, so I added some honey. I also added extra hot peppers, Garlic Garlic, & Onion Onion. No green onions around today. My chops were bone-in and super-thick and took longer to cook, so the glaze was thick enough by the time mine were all done.

My pork chops didn't turn out bad, but they were just okay to us. I didn't have green onion at home so that is the only difference. I expected the sauce to be thicker and stickier. I even removed the chops and boiled it a few minutes more to reduce the sauce. It didn't make much difference. Maybe ginger or garlic would help? I don't know if I'll be trying it again though.
