Ingredients

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 cups apple cider apple juice will substitute
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons rosemary fresh
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 6-ounce boneless pork chops 1 inch thick
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon avocado oil vegetable oil works too
3 cloves garlic minced, about 1 1/2 teaspoons

Instructions

In a bowl, mix the apple cider, apple cider vinegar , mustard, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
Pat pork chops dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle each pork chop on both sides with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper per pork chop.
Heat butter in oil in a 9-inch or larger heavy skillet over medium high heat.
Cook the pork chops, turning once until golden brown on each side and a thermometer reads 145 degrees in the center; about six minutes per side. It's OK if they look a little pink in the center.
Transfer the pork chops to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
To the same skillet the chops were in, add the garlic and cook 30 seconds on medium heat. Add the apple cider mixture, and use a spatula to scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer until the mixture measures about 2/3 of a Cup of liquid. This should take about 25 minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to the sauce, and stir to combine.
Add the pork chops back into the sauce, and turn to coat with the glaze. Allow the chops to rewarm over medium heat one to two minutes before serving .
