| Bourbon Glazed Pork Chops |
These bourbon glazed pork chops are not only gourmet and delicious, they’re easy too.
These delicious pork chops came to me via an email from Cooking Club. I rarely open these emails, but this one I’m glad I did.

| A no-fail company meal |
I had plenty of pork chops in the freezer, plenty of bacon too. Luckily, I had a small flask of bourbon–a rarity because I rarely cook with spirits and I don’t drink them either.
Even though you have to make the reduction, it’s pretty quick and easy. Don’t have bourbon or don’t want the alcohol? You can make these with apple cider as the recipe suggests. Although personally, I think the booze adds so much to the flavor–and remember–I don’t drink, so if I say this, it’s GOT to be good!!

| Easy to make! |
This would be a good meal to make for special company. It’s probably too much of a good thing for a weeknight family meal–and I wouldn’t recommend it for the kiddos with the bourbon either. It’s virtually no-fail and makes a beautiful presentation.
