Wacky Pork Chops

Step 1

Mix the flour, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper in a plastic bag.

Step 2

Mix all the sauce ingredients in a medium bowl. Don't worry about the lumpy jelly--it will melt when cooking.

Step 3

Place 3 pork chops in the flour mixture and shake to coat.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the olive oil and brown the 3 chops on both sides; remove to a plate and repeat with the last 3 chops. Frying in shifts doesn't crowd the pan and produces a better sear. Place the pork chops in a 13x9-inch pan in a single layer if possible.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet you fried the pork chops in with the red wine, then add the sauce mixture, stirring well for about 3 minutes until the jelly melts and it's heated through. Stir in butter.

Step 6

Pour the sauce over the pork chops then cover the dish with foil and bake at 350F/180C for 1 1/2 hours.

Step 7

Serve over noodles.
