Orange and Ginger Glazed Pork Chops

We made this last night and it was so good I had to pass it on. Sorry- no photos!

Serves 4

This sweet and spicy glaze is easy to prepare,so plan to have dinner on the table in less than 20 minutes! If using boneless pork chops, be sure to reduce the cooking time. Serve with rice pilaf and sautéed greens.

Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons Whole Trade™ 365 Everyday Value® Organic Orange Juice
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 (1-inch thick) bone-in, center-cut pork chops

Directions

Arrange oven rack about 6 inches from heating element and preheat broiler. Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together sugar, orange juice, ginger and salt. Arrange pork chops on prepared baking sheet in a single layer, spacing them a few inches apart. Spread half of the glaze over the tops of the pork chops and broil until golden and just crisp, 6 to 8 minutes.

Carefully flip pork chops and spread remaining glaze over the tops. Return to oven and broil until just golden and crisp on the second side and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes more. Transfer to plates and serve.
