Ingredients for Apricot Pork Chops

  • 1 cup apricot preserves
  • Italian Dressing
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Garlic Salt
  • 4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)

How to Make Apricot Pork Chops

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1 cup apricot preserves, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
  2. Add the pork chops to the bag, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, turning occasionally.
  4. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade and refrigerate.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the pork chops for 4-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through, brushing frequently with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes of grilling.
  6. Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
