Sweet & Spicy Pork Chops

1. Quarter the peppers and remove the seeds and membranes, if you like the flavor but not the heat of the peppers. Then dice to your desired pepper size.

2. Zest and juice the orange, reserving both.

3. Heat the oil in a large pan over high heat. Brown both sides of the pork chops, about 1 minute on each side.

4. Remove the pork chops to a plate on the side.

5. Reduce heat on the pan to medium and sauté the peppers to soften them.

6. Add the preserves, zest and juice from the orange, beer, and honey to the pan, and boil for 1 minute.

7. Add pork chops back to the sauce and simmer for 20-25 minutes, covered.

8. Remove pork chops to serving dish.

9. Make a slurry with corn starch and water and add to sauce while stirring. Add a fresh sliced jalapeño, if you would like a little more heat.

10. Once thickened, pour a little sauce over the pork chops, and serve the rest on the table to be used as desired.

11. Enjoy!
