Grilled Teriyaki Pork, Sweet Raspberry Biscuits

Teriyaki Pork Marinade

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup grape or apple juice

1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1/4 teaspoon minced fresh garlic

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon salad oil

Combine ingredients and pour over pork chops. Marinate until ready to cook (at least 30 minutes.) Grill until done. 

Sweet Raspberry Biscuits

These are a family favorite! You can use any kind of jam.  We have tried raspberry, triple berry, and strawberry--all good.

2 cups baking mix (I use Jiffy)

2 TBSP sugar

1/4 cup cold butter

2/3 cup milk

Raspberry jam

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

a little warm water 

 

Heat oven to 425.  Place 12 muffin liners in muffin tin.  

Combine baking mix and sugar.  Cut in butter until like coarse crumbs.  Add milk and stir until moistened. Layer in muffin liners: batter (enough to cover the bottom), 1 tsp jam, batter. 

Bake at 425 about 12 minutes, until starting to brown on top and cooked through.  Cool slightly.  

Meanwhile, mix powdered sugar with vanilla and enough water to make a glaze.  Drizzle glaze over biscuits.  Enjoy!  I think they're best warm.  

Served with roasted red potatoes and a green salad.

1 large pork chop (3/4 lb), cut into 1-inch slices
salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 thin slices deli ham (or prosciutto)
2 garlic cloves, minced

Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. In large skillet over medium-high heat, cook pork in oil until no longer pink. (I cook it on one side in single layer until almost done and browned nicely on one side. . .then flip to finish cooking.) Remove and reserve.

In same skillet, saute ham (prosciutto) in drippings. Add garlic and sage. Stir together. Add vinegar, stirring to loosed browned bits from pan.

Stir in cream. Reduce heat and cook 1-2 minutes or until thickened slightly. Add tomatoes and pork. Heat thru. Serve over angel hair and sprinkle each serving with basil and cheese.
