["In a large bowl or pitcher mix all of the sauce ingredients together.", "Set aside", "Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.", "Pork chops:", "Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat and add enough cooking oil to coat the bottom.", "Dredge the pork chops in the seasoned flour and brown for approximately 2 minutes per side in the skillet.", "Transfer the chops to a baking pan.", "Fan the chops so that each chop is exposed as much as possible.", "Bake until the chops are tender about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.", "Transfer the chops to a serving platter and serve.", "Helpful Tips:", "For less clean up; Use a resealable plastic bag to coat the chops with flour, but don't shake off too much excess, as the flour will aid in the ""glazing"" of the chops while they bake.", "Use a large enough baking pan to allow for the chops to be exposed as much as possible; while still small enough for the sauce to mostly cover the chops.", "If sauce seems very thin towards the end of baking, remove the foil to help reduce the liquid and reach the desired consistency of the sauce.", "It won't be real thick but should have some ""cling"" to the chops."]

Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
