Saucy Salsa Baked Pork Chops - With a Twist !

"Tender, juicy and a bit sweet and spicy ! I looked for a recipe here that would incorporate what I had on hand for my pork chops but couldn't find one. So I came up with this! I made this in about 50 minutes (including prep time) so it was as fast as it was tasty ! The marmalade is a bit different but it really did add a nice sweetness to offset the spicy salsa. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did !"

  • Add the oil to the pan.
  • Add the pork chops. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  • Lightly brown for about 2 minutes per side.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the salsa (I used mild but you can choose the heat that you like) and marmalade.

  • Turn the chops 1/2 way and baste with the sauce.
  • Serve with the extra sauce over the chops!

  1. I made this recipe with pork chops as written and it was great. Tonight, I tried this recipe with chicken and peach jam and it was delicious. I did add about 1/2 cup water so there would be more sauce, but everything else was by the recipe. Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. My family enjoyed this recipe. We like spicy stuff.
     
  3. Sorry but this was dried out and sauce was very thin. I even lowered oven to 360. No rave reviews from the men.
     
  4. I signed up at this site just so I could tell you that this is a delish dish! I used maple syrup in place of the marm. Chops were so juicy and tasty! Thanks!
     
  5. This was super tasty! I used 1" thick chops and probably could have taken them out before 40 minutes as they were *slightly* overcooked. I used mild salsa and peach preserves instead of orange (what I had on hand; and I have another recipe with pork, salsa and peach that is delish so I knew it would work as a sub :) ). Skipped the onion and served with leftover recipe #36346 (made with orange juice instead of lemon). Also, instead of transferring to another dish, I just added the salsa to the chops in the skillet and put the skillet in the oven (which worked perfect - but my skillet is oven safe). Made a tasty dinner! Thanks for sharing!

Tweaks

  1. Added water (about 1/2 cup) to the sauce before baking to thin it a bit. Worked out great!
     
  2. Delicious! I used Recipe #59635 and added corn syrup instead of marmalade. The salsa made it too spicy for my son, next time I'll leave it off of his :-) They reached temperature after 30 minutes in the oven.

Love to try new recipes......this website is the best ! I have tried several others but always end up coming back here ! It's now one of my favourites....and the first place I go for any meal suggestions ! I tend to use recipes as guidelines rather than the exact way of doing cooking. Cooking should be fun and experimental...at least I think so...to give you something a bit different every time you make a recipe. I know that many of my recipes never turn out the same way twice....if they do then I did something wrong!
