Jalapeno and Orange Marmalade Pork



I love experimenting with sweet and spicy flavors in the kitchen.  I have to be careful though because my son and I like more savory flavors but not to spicy but my husband loves sweet and the more fire the better.  I think this dish is a nice combination of both and for those that like more heat, simply add more jalapenos. 

Ingredients
1/4 Cup Honey
1/4 Cup Dijon Mustard
2 Tablespoons Cider Vinegar
3 Tablespoons Orange Marmalade
1 1/2 Cup Chicken Stock
1/2 Cup Pickled Jalapenos
4 Boneless Pork Chops
1/2 Cup Flour
1 Tablespoon Corn Starch
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper

Preparation
  1. In small bowl, combine honey, mustard, cider vinegar, orange marmalade, chicken stock and corn starch
  2. Chop jalapenos and add to the honey/mustard sauce
  3. Pound pork until thin
  4. In another bowl, add flour and season generously with salt and pepper.   Mix thoroughly.  Dredge pork in flour mixture
  5. In a saute pan, add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.  Turn heat to medium high.  Wait for the pan to be hot, add pork and cook each side until golden brown (approximately 3-5 minutes)
  6. Once pork is browned, add the honey/mustard sauce.   Cook until the sauce has thickened and the pork is cooked to your taste (approximately 3-5 minutes)
  7. Serve
