This baked pork chops recipe adds a sweet and tangy taste by marinating the meat first in an Asian inspired marinade.

The marinade is an easy mix of soy sauce and orange juice.

It also has a bit of honey for sweetness and ginger for tang.

Prep time: 5 minutesplus marinating

Cook time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:
4 or 6 boneless, pork loin chops or bone-in chops, cut to 1 - 1 1/2 inches thick
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger (or ground ginger if you prefer)

Directions:
Combine all ingredients except pork chops in a non-metallic container (a glass baking dish or zip lock plastic bag both work well). Stir well and add pork. Marinate for 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.

Remember, the longer the pork marinates, the better the flavour.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Cook pork for approximately 30 minutes (depending on thickness) or until chops are done.

Makes 4 to 6 portions.
