Cranberry Maple Pork Chops

'Tis the season for cranberry recipes! This one is from the Oct/Nov Simple & Delicious.

Cranberry Maple Pork Chops
6 boneless pork chops
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tbsp butter
1 can (14 oz) whole berry cranberry sauce
1/3 cup grape jelly
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/3 cup maple syrup

Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown chops in butter. Remove and keep warm. In the same skillet, combine the cranberry sauce, jelly, ketchup, and soy sauce; cook and stir until blended. Return chops to the pan; drizzle with syrup. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until meat is tender.

(If you initially fry the pork chops in oil instead of butter, this would be dairy free, so I'm marking it as such even though it calls for butter)

So this was good, but nothing exciting. Once it was done and I took the pork chops out of the pan, the sauce didn't even stay on them. It was quite watery sauce. But even without sauce Emma could tell that it had syrup on it. My budding chef. We had this with rice and corn. The sauce was good on the rice. So good, but not fabulous. I already have a couple of other recipes like this one.
