Oh hey, so I meant to post this marinated pork chops recipe like.. say.. 2 months ago. Goodness I’m so behind ya’ll. TOO MUCH going on.

I’m declaring  May a MUCH Month. Yes, Much of May. That’s right. Um, can we talk about how so much has been going on?

  • I’m dreaming of a MUCH needed vacation in a few months (Tropical perhaps?).
  • I am in MUCH need of a massage. Like a legit Swedish pound out all the kinks in my neck kind of massage.
  • I have a husband who deserves so MUCH more than a crazy scraggly wife right now (the obsession with dried shampoo continues). LOL, I blame the cookbook. Speaking of, I so much content (and bowl recipes) and not  much time to post it. Bare with me. I’d MUCH appreciate it. Mmm k?
  • I am also missing my family very much! Hopefully we will get back to Texas soon. Preferably before it gets 110F there. Either way, I’ll be making Frosé for them!

Okay, let’s see if I can get to the end of this post here before bore you too MUCH. Wink wink.

Anyway, this One Pan Sticky Marmalade Pork Chops is totally worth sharing late than never. Seriously, it takes all of 10 minutes and makes for one sweet and tangy skillet dinner. Marmalade has never really been my favorite type of preserve, but the kiwi loves it. In case you’re wondering, Marmalade is a fruit preserve made from the juice and peel of citrus fruits, which makes it more bitter than jam. I decided it was time to make the most out of it. I mean make MUCH more out of it? Ya, that’s it. So we made a marinade. You know how I feel about sweet and tangy marinades. I love thee! (Side not, if you are looking for a paleoish marmalade, check out this honey sweetened marmalade recipe).  I used St. Dalfour Marmalade which is sweetened with fruit concentrate, not sugar.

Back to my point here ya’ll. My.. MUCH NEEDED point.

This One Pan Sticky Marmalade Marinated Pork Chops recipe is a keeper. Even if you don’t like marmalade, gasp!  The key is to make marmalade marinade with molasses, onion, and orange juice. Throw in a few other spices and herbs and you got yourself  a sticky caramelized coating on the pork chops. Which makes you want to pick them up and eat them like ribs. Totally allowed. MUCH allowed.

See, made real simple with REAL ingredients that you have in your pantry. Yup. Grandma would be proud. Wholesome REAL FOOD ingredients combined to make a healthyish gluten free one pan meal!

OKay ya’ll, bust out the skillet or event the grill! All you need for this recipe is a few lean pork chops,the special sauce (aka marmalade marinade) and a MUCH needed napkin for when you devour these sticky chops. Cappeesh?

Oh, and I highly recommend throwing in some super green veggies to even out the sweetness of the pork chops. Broccolini to the rescue. The vegetable is so underrated. Mmmmm  ya! Much underrated?? 😉

    The orange slices take this over the top! Orange and pork really pair well together, and the whole family gave this recipe a thumbs up!

    I have been obsessively thinking about a massage. And a vacation… the kind you never come back from. NZ? 😉

    This looks amazing, as always. I’m with you on the marmalade, but I would eat pretty much anything you make, so I trust you brother.

    Have a wonderful, RELAXING weekend.

    Marmalade totally makes me think of the movie ‘Paddington.’ Did you see that? Also, I hope you get to see your family soon, because I start to miss my family very much too when I don’t see them for a while.
