PORK CHOPS WITH BLACK CURRANT PRESERVES (THE SILVER PALATE)
This is very quick to prepare and therefore it is one of my "go to" recipes for easy entertaining. The sweet and piquant reduction complements the pork beautifully. I usually serve this with steamed asparagus, roasted fingerling potatoes, and butter lettuce salad with a chunky Roquefort dressing. Simple and elegant.

PORK CHOPS WITH JAMMY-MUSTARD GLAZE
Fruit and mustard are two classic accompaniments to pork, and really, a juicy chop doesn't need much more than that for a sweet and tangy sauce. Mix together water, grainy mustard and any fruit preserve that's good with pork like cherry, fig, peach or apricot. Sear bone-in pork chops mostly on one side to prevent overcooking, then pour the fruit-mustard mixture into the skillet while they rest. The pork will stay moist, and its juices will have time to mingle with the sauce. Then just slice the pork and drape it in the velvety two-ingredient glaze. Eat with mashed or roasted potatoes and a green salad.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup water, the preserves and the mustard. Set near the stove. Pat the pork chops dry, and season all over with salt and pepper.
- In a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the pork chops and cook, occasionally pressing down to make good contact with the skillet, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, flip the chops and cook until opaque on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the jam-mustard mixture, turn off the heat, and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the chops to plates, then return the skillet to medium-low heat and simmer, scraping up browned bits, until the sauce has thickened slightly, 1 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Every jam is different, so if it's too sweet, add more mustard, salt or black pepper; if it's too salty, add a little more jam; if it's too intense or thick, add a little more water; if it's flat, add salt. Spoon sauce over the pork chops.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Brine the pork chops: Brining the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar helps to tenderize them and add flavor. You can brine the chops for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat helps to prevent them from drying out. If you cook them over high heat, they will brown too quickly and become tough.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops: The internal temperature of the pork chops should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: Letting the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Pork chops with black currant preserves is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the black currant preserves add a sweet and tangy flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table.
