About This Recipe
Who ever thought that honey and mustard would ever go together should get a medal. Traditionally mustard has a strong, bitter flavor somewhat like horseradish or wasabi. When you add the sweet wonderfulness of honey to that you get a combination that has lasted for centuries. The honey and mustard combo I went with for this recipe was the multi-floral and clover honey from Trader Joe’s and garlic whole grain mustard from Kroger. I used the whole grain style to add a little more texture to the meal, but a smooth mustard would work just as well. Also I only cook for two people so when cooking pork chops I use the French bone-in style as they come in a two pack. If cooking for more I recommend using boneless pork chops as they normally come in a larger pack size.
