Pork Chops with Raspberry Sauce

Succulent herbed boneless pork loin chops paired with a tangy raspberry sauce ... heaven on a plate! This is a special family dish or perfect for company. I accompanied it with mashed potatoes and julienned steamed carrots. My husband can't wait to have it again.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• ½ teaspoon dried sage, crushed
• 4 (4 ounce) boneless pork loin chops
• ¼ cup seedless raspberry jam
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). In a small bowl, combine crushed thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Rub evenly over pork chops.

Step 2

Melt butter and olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Cook pork chops for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, turning once. Remove from skillet and keep warm in preheated oven.

Step 3

In the skillet, combine raspberry jam, orange juice, and vinegar. Bring to a boil, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until sauce is reduced to desired consistency (sauce will thicken as it cools). Spoon sauce in a pool onto a serving plate, and top with pork chops. Garnish with sprigs of thyme.
