Ingredients
- 4 pork chops
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup evaporated milk
- ¼ cup light corn syrup

Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the pork chops until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
- Melt the butter in a saucepan; stir the brown sugar into the melted butter until smooth. Add the evaporated milk and stir; bring the mixture to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Stir the corn syrup into the milk mixture; fold the pecans into the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops to serve.

Reviews
I made this recipe, but was very disapointed. The sauce was very runny, and I tried to thicken it up a bit with some corn starch, but it just ran off my pork chops and made a plate of soup. The sauce was tasty, but I wish it was thicker.
I really enjoyed the sauce, but as others have said it needs to be thicker. My brother even likes this, and he doesn’t try ANYTHING
I changed things, because I didn’t have everything — most especially white corn syrup. I used dark instead, because we love pecan pie — and this tasted so heavenly. Even future SIL, who overcooks pork to the point of burning, liked this. I would have LOVED this with mashed potatoes, but was just too tired to peel them. We had mac & cheese & broccoli casserole instead. This was so good. Wait, I said that already!
Sauce tasted good but was too runny, needs to be thickened with a bit of cornstarch. Hubby loved the sauce but thought it was too sweet and would be better as a dessert topping over a slice of cake, but I enjoyed it with the pork chops.
Very tasty recipe and easy to prepare. The sauce was a bit runny but my daughter made that part of the recipe so I’m not certain she got the portions exactly right. A definite keeper!!
