Sweet Soy Pork

This recipe was submitted by our friends at Be In Love Designs. Considering their unique taste in their Custom Cut Invitations, we are excited to try this recipe.

This is a quick and easy recipe, learned as a kid. Really, almost no need to measure!

Ingredients:

• 2-4 Pork Chops


• Low Sodium Soy Sauce


• 4-8 TBS of Apricot Preserves


• Minced Dried Chives (to taste)


• 1-2 TBS Minced Garlic (use the preminced in olive oil pepper to taste)

Preparation:

In a casserole dish with lid (or foil), place peppered pork chops inside and fill with soy sauce about half way of the meat's thickness. Sprinkle with garlic and chives. Cover and cook in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes, turning over pork chops once halfway through.

Then place 2 TBS of apricot preserves on top of each pork chop. Cook uncovered for an additional 5-8 minutes, or until preserves begin to melt. This dish is best served over rice.
