"Found this recipe (& somehow tweaked it a bit!) in the Taste of Home June/July 2010 cooking magazine."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 2 tablespoons apricot nectar
• 2 tablespoons apricot preserves
• 1 tablespoon honey dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 2 boneless pork loin chops
• 1⁄4 teaspoon lemon pepper
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons canola oil
• 1⁄2 cup dried apricot, sliced
• 2 green onions, sliced thin

directions

1. In a small bowl, combine apricot nectar, apricot preserves, Dijon mustard, soy sauce & curry powder. Mix well, then set aside.
2. Sprinkle chops with lemon pepper, then, in a small nonstick skillet, cook the chops in oil for 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 145 degrees F (Make that 160 degrees, if you're an ol-fashioned cook!). Remove chops & set them aside.
3. Add apricots & onions to the pan & cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
4. Stir in the nectar mixture, then return chops to the pan & heat through, spooning the sauce over the top of the chops. Cook until sauce is slightly thickened.
5. At that point, eat & enjoy!
