Spicy Peach glazed Pork Chops

1 cup peach preserves
1 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1-4 tsp Sriracha sauce, depending on how spicy you want it
4 boneless pork chops
1 tsp ground ginger
1 pinch ground cinnamon
Salt and pepper to taste

In a small bowl, mix peach preserves, Worcestershire sauce, Sriracha sauce (start with less...you can always add more), ginger, cinnamon, salt and pepper.  Taste sauce.  This is very important.  Add additional sriracha to compliment your spicy desires.  We went with 4 tsp.  Spray 13x9 dish with cooking spray.  Add pork chops to dish and cover both sides with sauce.  Cook at 350 for 30-50 minutes or until pork is done. 

Serves 4

**You could also cook these on the stove by browning the pork chops (covered in sauce) in a skillet until cooked through.
