Notes

  • Perfect Pork Chops: For extra juicy pork chops, let them rest for a few minutes after baking before serving. This helps retain their juices and makes them more flavorful.
  • Chutney Consistency: If your apple chutney is too thick, add a bit of water or apple cider vinegar to reach your desired consistency while simmering.
