Maple Glazed Skillet Pork Chops

Maple Glazed Skillet Pork Chops

4 pork chops, 3/4-1" thick
Salt and Pepper
2 tbsp oil
1 cup water
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves

Heat the oil in a large iron skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking.  Season the chops with salt and pepper and brown well on one side.  Turn the chops and cook for about 1 minute.  Add water to skillet, cover and reduce heat to medium.  Cook about 30 minutes until pork is done and the water has nearly all evaporated.

In the meantime, combine the remaining ingredients and whisk until well blended.  Pour over the pork chops and reduce heat to low for about 5 minutes or until the glaze thickens.

Tasty! Adapted from a Cook's Country recipe.
