08 -
60 millilitres apple cider

# How to Make It:
01 -
Ladle any tasty pan drippings over the chops when you plate them. Makes everything juicy and flavourful.
02 -
Bake for about half an hour, or until the pork is soft and no longer pink in the middle.
03 -
Turn over the chops and use whatever glaze is left to slather the top. Make sure every bit gets some.
04 -
Drizzle half of your glaze mixture all over the pork chops. Spread it around using the back of a spoon.
05 -
Pop the glaze bowl in the microwave. Heat for 30 seconds at a time, stirring now and then, until the butter’s gone and it all looks smooth.
06 -
Toss together Dijon mustard, garlic, honey, rosemary, butter, and some apple cider in a bowl.
07 -
Lay the pork chops in a cooking dish that’s been lightly oiled. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
08 -
Turn your oven on and set it to 175°C. Let it warm up.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
If you want that cozy fall feeling, mixing in some cinnamon or nutmeg works great. Like some spice? Shake in a little cayenne. Use thyme or sage instead of rosemary if you want to switch up the taste. You can even simmer your cider on the stove first to get a bolder glaze.
