Maple Glazed Pork Chops

I made these for the first time Friday night. They were good, but a little too sweet for my husband and me. He rated them a 5 out of 10. I would probably give them a 6 or 7. This recipe is from Taste of Home. Check it out here.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 bone-in pork loin chops (1 inch thick)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water
• 2/3 cup packed brown sugar

Directions:

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine flour, salt and pepper. Add pork chops and shake to coat. In a skillet, brown chops on both sides in butter. Place in an ungreased 13-in. x 9- in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 450° for 20-25 minutes or until juices run clear.

Meanwhile, in a skillet, bring the vinegar to a boil. Reduce heat; add maple syrup. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; add to the maple mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.

Place chops on a broiler pan; sprinkle with brown sugar. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 2-3 minutes or until sugar is melted. Drizzle with maple glaze.

Yield: 4 servings.

We topped it all off with tapioca pudding.
