Pork Chops with Pepper Jelly

So, it's been a while since I've tried any new recipes... School has been keeping me pretty busy lately and I'm on an evening shift rotation, so poor hubby has to fend for himself 3 nights a week.

I actually made this a couple of weeks ago. The pepper jelly is really great, sweet and spicy at the same time, perfect for the other white meat.







PORK CHOPS WITH PEPPER JELLY
recipe found at Taste & See

4 boneless pork loin chops
salt and pepper
3 tablespoons butter, divided
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup red pepper jelly

Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter with oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops, and cook 6 to 8 minutes; turn and cook about 6 minutes or until done. Remove from skillet, and keep warm.

Add flour and jalapeno to skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes or until flour is golden brown. Add wine, stirring to loosen particles from bottom of skillet; cook 1 minute or until almost completely reduced.

Add chicken broth, and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken. Whisk in pepper jelly until melted and smooth. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Return pork to skillet; turn to coat. Serve pork with sauce.
