Cherry-Glazed Pan-Seared Lamb Chops image

From Cooking Light, July 2007. Sounds great and I don't want to lose it. My DH as diabetes so I will use sugar-free cherry preserves. "Cherry preserves and balsamic vinegar combine for a quick, tasty glaze. Pair with couscous to soak up any extra pan sauce." A serving size is 2 chops with 3 tbsp. of glaze.

This recipe is a keeper! The chops were tender and juicy, and the glaze was divine. I served them with roasted potatoes and asparagus, and it was a perfect meal.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chops turned out dry and tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

The chops were a little overcooked for my liking, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chops turned out perfectly. The glaze was a little too sweet for my taste, but that's just personal preference. Overall, this is a great recipe for a special occasion.
