Marinated Pork Chops

Marinated Pork Chops

Serves 6

1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 soy sauce
1/2 cup apricot jam
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
6 (1" thick) pork chops

Combine first four ingredients. Marinate pork chops in sauce for 1 hour. If desired, brush sauce on pork chops before grilling. Grill on medium heat 5 to 8 minutes per side.

P.S. - We've put our grill away for the winter (it comes early around here), so I put these in my crockpot with the marinade, and it turned out FANTASTIC. That's why, in the picture, the chops don't look grilled. They were crock-potted. And the chops were soooo tender - which is not something one can often say about pork chops.

P.S.S. - I got this from a recipe book called Barbeques - Parties and Potlucks, California Cookbook Company, 2001.
