Can you make something fantastic with just six ingredients? Well, let’s be honest, I’ve proven time and again that you can. But like in Hollywood, you’re only as good as your last performance, so I’d better step up and prove I’ve still got my chops.
Pork chops! Ah, I slay me.
What we’re going to do is make a delicious glaze for these pork chops, and bake them in the oven. So we’ll start with 1/4 cup of apricot jelly. (Can jelly contain gluten? Sadly, in rare instances, it can. All varieties of Smuckers are also gluten-free, if you don’t want to go with my fancy organic Cascadian Farm.) [As always, the brands I use were GFCF at the time of posting, but manufacturers can change formulas without warning. Always check your labels!]
It’s too thick for a glaze though, so we’ll thin it out with 1/4 cup of water.
Now, add 1 teaspoon of McCormick curry powder. The brand is important here too, as many curries (and other spice blends) have flour added to help prevent clumping.
Also toss in 1/4 teaspoon of salt…
And 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.
Mix it up, brush it on, and bake your pork chops uncovered for 1 hour at 375 degrees.
Done! So easy! Take a bow, and enjoy the accolades. Maybe they’ll even give you a star someday on the Hollywood Wok of Flame. (Yes, my lack of a comedy career can only be ascribed to the blatant nepotism in the industry, I’m sure.)
Happy Eating!

I’ve never had rectangular pork chops like that, they must be growing pigs packed tight together down there.
