Strawberry Jelly Glazed Pork Chops

These Sweet Home Strawberry Jelly Glazed Pork Chops are the perfect blend of sweet, savory, and satisfyingly juicy. The strawberry jelly melts into a glossy glaze that caramelizes beautifully as the pork cooks, coating each chop in a rich, fruity layer of flavor. A splash of vinegar adds brightness, while simple seasonings let the natural sweetness of the jelly shine.

The result is a weeknight-easy, company-worthy dish that tastes like something straight off a gourmet menu — tender pork with a sweet berry glaze that’s both comforting and unexpectedly elegant. Whether pan-seared, oven-baked, or grilled, these chops bring a delicious Southern twist to the table.
