Honey & Spice Glazed Pork Chops

October 4, 2011 · Ava-May Thomson · 8 Comments

Pork, the other white meat. I love pork… beyond the bacon. A staple protein in our house is pork chops and I never seem to get tired preparing them in various ways. The most recent recipe was for these Honey & Spice Glazed Pork Chops. The blend of spices marry nicely with the sweet honey and the subtle tang of Dijon mustard. With a few ingredients and steps, this is one pork chop that’s sure to please…

So when it comes to the spices involved in this dish, you may think of baking. Ground ginger, cinnamon and cloves are part of a sweet and savory combination that the honey and Dijon mustard bring.

This dish can be prepared in advance and frozen, then defrosted and cooked in a crockpot for complete ease. Should you decide to cook this in a crockpot, you will want to spoon the sauce from the crockpot into a skillet to reduce and thicken to a glaze. I served these pork chops atop a mushroom & garlic rice pilaf.

    I never think to make pork when I'm planning dinner but it's so easy and a good tenderloin can be leaner than chicken. I'll have to file this one!

    Would cooking on the stove top or in oven work for the freezer version?

    Is the meat more tender when cooked in the crockpot for hours than it is when cooked in a pan for 10 min?

    I thought that the pork chops were a bit dry. i will try cooking less time. i did not feel they were super tender. they were not tough either. i did the prep and then froze the chops. the sauces looked wierd in the crock pot so i did reduce the sauce after straining the juice that the chops made in the crock pot. i had to add a bit more dijon mustard and honey. i would make this again keeping in mind the modifications that i had to make.

    What size crock pot do I use? It doesn't seem like a lot of food in the pot? Can I just thaw and cook on the stove per the instructions? Great site!

    @Jay – I used a 4qt crockpot… however you can use a larger crockpot and place the pork chops in a smaller oven proof casserole dish and place it inside the crockpot. Or you can double the amounts if you want more chops.

    I will try this recipe ASAP. These are the kind of dishes I enjoy to make the most. Simplistic in nature and quick. I think that it could go with anything, potatoes, Chinese/Spanish rice or with a very simple salad. Already added to rotation. Thank you so much. Bless.
