Orange-Ginger Pork Chops

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon ground ginger or 4 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup sherry
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon grated orange peel
• 3/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• 4 bone-in pork loin chops (6 ounces each)
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch

How to make it:

1. In a saucepan, cook ginger and garlic in oil for 1 minute; remove from the heat.
2. Stir in the sherry, honey, soy sauce, sesame seeds, orange peel, and hot pepper sauce; mix well. Pour 1/2 cup into a small bowl; set aside.
3. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the pork chops. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
4. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine cornstarch and water until smooth; add reserved marinade. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened.
5. Drain and discard marinade from the pork. Coat grill rack with nonstick cooking spray before starting the grill. Grill chops, covered, over medium heat 4 minutes.
