Honey Glazed Pork Chops with Homemade Apple Chutney & Mashed Potatoes
Honey Glazed Pork Chops served with a homemade apple chutney and mashed potatoes create a harmonious plate of sweet, tangy, and savory elements. The pork chops bake slowly in broth and thyme then get a final glaze of honey and mustard for a caramelized finish. The accompanying apple chutney is cooked down until jam-like with raisins and spices, complementing the pork with fruitiness and zing.
