Smoked Pork Chops With Maple Glaze - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 smoked pork chops, bone-in, 1/2 inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/4 cup maple syrup (real or imitation)
1/4 cup apple juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon sage, dried, ground
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Preparation

In a medium skillet (cast iron preferred), heat oil over medium-high heat until glistening.
Season both sides of pork chops with 1/8 teaspoons black pepper. Brown in hot oil for 5-8 minutes on each side or until heated through (and nicely browned).
Meanwhile in a small saucepan, whisk together remaining ingredients. Cook over medium heat until thickened and bubbly.
Once pork chops are browned, remove to a serving platter (or individual plates). Spoon maple glaze evenly over both and serve.
