I’m hoping that the recent thunderstorms clear up and we get some more fabulous sunshine so you can try this delicious recipe.
This super simple supper tastes amazing and, whether the weather is sunshine or rain, it’s perfect for cooking on the barbecue or the griddle pan.
Ideally you would want to prepare this the night before, however, if you don’t have time, 15 mins will do.
Now the pear cider is a brilliant twist, however, if you can only find normal cider then just use that.
Sticky pear & ginger pork chops
Ask your butcher for 4 good quality specially selected pork chops
4 tbsp of soy sauce
2 tbs of runny honey
1 knob of root ginger, grated
1 garlic clove, crushed
100ml of pear cider
1 Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and submerge the chops. Cover and chill for as long as you can.
2 Cooking pork is easier than you think, 4-5 min each side, basting with the liquid all the time and 5 minutes rest. This makes all the difference, giving you a nice juicy chop rather than a dry grey pieces of meat!
3 Serve with some spiced sweet potato wedges to add a nice edge.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
