Cinnamon Maple Pork Chops

I found a recipe for this in the back of a magazine and thought it sounded good. It was!

1 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
3/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp pepper
4 boneless pork chops
2 Tbsp maple syrup
3 tsp butter, melted
3 tsp dijon mustard

Mix spices together and rub on pork chops.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
Mix maple syrup, butter and mustard and pour over pork chops.
Bake additional 5 minutes or until done.

I'll definitely use this spice rub and glaze combo again. I'd like to try it with a pork roast in the crock pot because it would have a similar principle as pulled barbecue pork, but with a sweet twist.

We had our pork chops with sweet potato casserole, a mixture of kidney beans, white beans and black eyed peas and fruit salad. Fruit salad is a regular fixture in our home. Tonight, the contents were:

1 cantaloupe, scooped out with melon baller
1 red delicious apple, diced
1 mango, peeled and diced
1 orange, sectioned and cut up
1 cluster of grapes, halved
1 pear, diced

A came downstairs, smelled the sweet potato casserole and exclaimed, "I smell cobbler." While she was disappointed to find sweet potato casserole instead, she did have three helpings of fruit salad, so I think that made up for it a little.
