DEEP-FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH SWEET AND SPICY RED PEPPER JELLY

Steps:

• For the pepper jelly: Combine the sugar, vinegar, pineapple juice, roasted bell peppers and jalapeno. Blend using a food processor or immersion blender. Place the puree in a 2-quart saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Add the pectin and continue to boil for 60 seconds, at which point add the frozen peppers to stop the cooking process. Pour the jelly into a metal container and chill in an ice bath for about 1 hour until it sets, or overnight in the refrigerator.
• For the pork chops: Using the toothy side of a meat tenderizer, pound the pork chops to about 1/2-inch thickness. Add the blackening seasoning, salt and pepper to the flour and mix thoroughly. Dredge the chops in the seasoned flour, dip in the buttermilk and then back into the flour (using one hand to work in the flour, and the other for dipping in the buttermilk). Allow to rest for at least a minute or so to allow the breader to set up.
• Pour the oil into a deep, heavy pot (cast iron is best), enough so that the pork chop has room to float, but there needs to be a few inches of clearance so that it doesn't overflow when you are frying. Heat the oil to 355 degrees F. Use a deep-fry thermometer to get the temperature right; too high and your food will burn on the outside before it is cooked on the inside, and too low your food will come out greasy and soggy.
• Gently the drop pork chops, 1 or 2 at a time, into the oil; don't crowd the pot. Fry until golden brown on the outside, about 7 minutes. Serve with the pepper jelly.

PERFECT FRIED PORK CHOPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Rinse pork chops and pat dry with paper towels, making sure to remove all excess moisture.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, seasoned salt, black pepper, steak seasoning, and salt to taste.
• Dip each side of the pork chops into the seasoning mixture, then set aside on a plate.
• Heat canola oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet and once it is hot (between 325-375 degrees F), add butter to the skillet.
• When the butter is melted, cook pork chops 2 to 3 minutes on the first side; 1 to 2 minutes on the other side.
• Dispose of the excess oil.
• Remove fried pork chop to a plate and repeat with remaining porch chops.
• Store them in an airtight container to eat them as leftovers on busy weeknights.

SEASONED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Lightly grease a large frying pan with non-stick spray. Heat the pan. Temperature will depend on the thickness of the chops. For thin chops use med-high heat. For thicker chops use medium heat.
• Brush pork chops with vinegar and then brush with a thin coat of olive oil. Lightly sprinkle the pork chops with each of the seasonings. Flip and repeat on the other side.
• Place in the frying pan until browned on one side (usually about 7-12 minutes). Flip and cook until other side is browned.
• Enjoy!
