Pork Roast or Chops with Apricot Pineapple glaze image

This roast is not overly sweet. It has savory tones. I added herbs, garlic and apricot to this roast with a nice glaze. The result was a big success. We enjoyed it immensely. I will be making this dish again and again. I served it with a side of smashed potatoes with garlic. I hope you all enjoy this delicious dish.

  • Prepare the pork: Trim excess fat from the pork and season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
  • Make the glaze: Combine apricot preserves, pineapple juice, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and ginger in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until thickened.
  • Cook the pork: Roast the pork in a preheated oven at 350°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145°F is reached. For chops, cook them in a skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
