1/2 cup ESTEE apricot fruit spread
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
6 (5-6 oz) lean center-loin pork chops (1/2-inch thick)
Vegetable cooking spray
1 medium green pepper, seeded and cut into julienne strips
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and cut into julienne strips
1/2 small sweet onion, cut into thin slices and spearated
1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until fruit spread melts, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
2. Trim fat from pork chops. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium high heat until hot. Add chops and cook until browned on both sides. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Transfer chops to a 12 x 8 x 2 inch baking dish. Brush chops with reserved apricot glaze, reserving any leftover glaze. Cover and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Add peppers and onions and bake, uncovered, an additional 15 minutes or until pork chops are tender, brushing frequently with reserved apricot glaze.
