I drained the oil from the frying pan, heated it again toward the end of the baking time and used the juices plus only one tablespoon of sugar to deglaze the pan. This mixture was cooked down to a syrup. Use your judgement about how thick. Then I spooned the glaze over the chops at the end and gave them a few minutes of heat. Very good. The house smelled lovely.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2011-10-31","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"GoldDog"},"reviewBody":"This was a very good recipe. I baked the pork chops about 35-40 minutes as I didn't want to over bake them. They were tender and baked just right. I was nervous that by not covering them they would get dried out but it wasn't the case at all.The apples and raisons added a nice touch and flavor.You don't really need to do the extra step of preparing the apple\/orange juice if you don't want too. They are moist enough without it. I did use chops that were about 1\/2-3\/4 inches thick.Will make this again for family or company!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2013-01-25","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"CyanTree"},"reviewBody":"Made this tonight, adding a can of unsweetened apple sauce to the mixture for the topping.
