Lamb Chops with Fruited Sauce
Serves 4

Ingredients
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons snipped fresh mint or 1/2 teaspoon dried mint, crushed
1/2 cup mixed dried fruit bits
8 lamb chops, cut 1 inch thick (about 2-1/2 pounds)
Fresh mint (optional)
 
Directions
For sauce, in a small saucepan combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir in orange juice. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Stir in mint. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Remove 1/4 cup sauce and set aside. Stir fruit into remaining sauce; cover and keep warm.
Grill chops on an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 12 to 15 minutes for medium-rare (145 degrees F) or until desired doneness, turning chops once and brushing with the 1/4 cup sauce. Serve chops with the fruit sauce. Garnish with fresh mint, if desired.
