blueberry balsamic pork chops

Every once in a while, I have trouble coming up with things to put on our weekly menu.  That's when my hubby comes to the rescue.

He's Superman like that.

I told him that I couldn't figure out what to fix, and he started to get this mischievous little gleam in his eye (he gets those a lot).  He started rifling through recipe books, pulling out all the spices in the cabinet, and muttering to himself.  And then he smiled...

"I've got it!" he exclaimed.

"Well, which recipe did you pick?" I asked.

"I didn't.  I'm making up my own."

"Are you serious?"

"Yep.  We're gonna need some pork chops."

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how this recipe came to be.

Pork Chops with Blueberry Balsamic Glaze

• 2-4 pork chops
• 2 t. oil
• 1-2 t. minced garlic
• herbs to taste (your choice)
• pepper to taste (we recommend ground red pepper)
• equal parts balsamic vinegar and blueberry-lime jam

Heat oil in a nonstick skillet.  Rub pork chops with minced garlic and then cook them in the oil.  After they are cooked, sprinkle the pork chops with herbs and pepper.  Remove to a plate.

For glaze, combine equal parts balsamic vinegar and blueberry-lime jam.  If blueberry-lime jam is unavailable, simply splash some lime juice into blueberry jam for the same effect.  Spread glaze over pork chops just before serving.
