My family loved these chops from the first time I fixed them. They're as tasty in a skillet as they are grilled, so you can eat them all year long. The sauce is also fantastic with chicken. —Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida

"This one's a keeper" was what my husband said! I used some black raspberry jam I had on hand and only had teriyaki sauce instead of soy- but it was delicious! I also brined the chops for 2 hrs beforehand which helped them not dry out in cooking .

Internal temp. should be 145 not 160 as that dries pork out to much. Other then that it is good.

This was SO simple, & we loved it! My husband commented on how it looked & tasted as if it were from a restaurant. I used raspberry seedless jam instead of blackberry, & mixed fresh black & raspberries on top. Delicious!
