Ingredients

2 lbs pork chops 6 chops thick-cut , $6.19
1/4 cup molasses $0.60
1/4 cup orange juice concentrate $0.33
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar $0.06
1 Tbsp dijon mustard $0.11
1/4 tsp garlic powder $0.02
1/2 tsp salt $0.02
2 Tbsp vegetable oil $0.08

Instructions

Make the marinade by stirring together the molasses, orange juice concentrate, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt. Place the marinade in a bag, add the chops, and seal tightly. Place in the refrigerator for at least two hours or longer if desired.
When you’re ready to cook the chops, heat 2 Tbsp of vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot (it will look wavy in the pan), add the chops. Cook for about 7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and the marinade has reduced to a thick sauce. No need to pour all of the marinade into the skillet, the amount that comes off of the chops as they cook will be plenty to make a nice sauce. Discard the extra marinade from the bag. Serve hot!
