Thanks Petra. I haven’t heard from you in years. I hope all is well.
Wow this sounds so good! I love the added ginger! 🙂
Hi Janet. You can still follow the recipe but, the amount of time to cook may change. Keep an eye on it. Still make the appricot sauce on your stove.
Could this be done in a cast iron skillet – on the grill? Would I need to change anything?
Hi Donna. Yes, that will work. Hope you like the recipe.
Can I use a boneless pork loin and cut it into 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch pieces if I don’t have boneless pork chops?
Hi Randi. You can let the sauce cook longer and if that’s not to your desired thickness, add a tsp of cornstarch mixed with a tsp of water to the sauce, cover and let it thicken.
This tasted amazing. Any suggestions on how to thicken the glaze though?
Hi Fran. Thanks for the 5-star rating. I’m glad you liked them.
I baked 6 chops and doubled the glaze recipe. Also, they were done in 15 minutes at 350
Hi Diane. Thanks for your compliment and the 5-star rating!
Wowzer !!! We loved these pork chops. The glaze was absolutely delicious!! Might have to double the glaze next time. Everyone wanted to lick their plates.
