The recipe makes use of 2 grocery items: raspberry jam and chipolte peppers in adobe sauce. “Wait, what? What kind of peppers???” Well, I was a bit wary too but if you have not cooked with this flavor packed ingredient, you are in for a treat! You can find them in your grocery store, most likely in the Mexican food aisle. Here’s a picture just so you have a visual:
The combo of the sweet jam with the smokiness of the peppers in the sauce is fabulous! We used center cut and thick style pork chops but you could really use any variety. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time, depending on the thickness of the chops. And if you think you want a stronger flavor and a bit more spice, add a couple teaspons of extra sauce to the jam. You could also try it first as written and then add more next time.
And here is the final result, served with some simple steamed veggies that I prepped while the pork chops were cooking.
