Orange and Honey Pork Chops

I am new to pork recipes since we don't really make a lot of the "other white meat" at home. We tried this out last night (I found the recipe in my folder and can't remember where it is from). I served the pork with steamed asparagus and Pillsbury crescent rolls.

3 pork chops (I got them at TJ's)
1 orange for rind and 1/2 of the orange's juice
1 tsp dried thyme
2 tbl honey
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
2 garlic cloves minced
2 tbl rice wine vinegar


Mix orange rind, juice, thyme, salt, pepper, vinegar and garlic in a small bowl. Pour over pork which is placed in a 8x8 or 9x9 glass dish. Marinate for at least 2 hours (you can do before you leave for work and refrigerate).

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Pour one tablespoon of honey over the pork and cook for 10 minutes. Take pork out (not a good idea to stick you hand in the oven) and pour the second tablespoon of honey over the pork and cook for another 20 minutes.

Enjoy!
