How to Make Afrikaner Chops

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the apricot jam, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar. This is your delicious marinade.
2. Trim any excess fat from the lamb chops. Place the chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer.
3. In a large oven-safe skillet (or frying pan) over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Stir in the apricot jam and heavy cream. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and add them to the skillet. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet.
6. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the lamb chops are cooked to your desired doneness. Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
7. Once cooked, remove the chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon the delicious sauce over the lamb chops and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
