An elegant, deep brown reduction sauce studded with bits of cherry makes this entree ideal for a quiet dinner with that special someone. —KERRY DINGWALL, PONTE VEDRA, FLORIDA

Ingredients:
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
• 4 lamb loin chops (4 ounces each)
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 cup beef broth
• 1/4 cup cherry preserves
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Directions:
1. Combine rosemary, salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; rub over lamb chops. In a large skillet coated with cooking spray, cook chops over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Remove and keep warm.

2. Add garlic to the pan; cook for 1 minute. Stir in broth, preserves, vinegar and remaining pepper; cook for 2-4 minutes or until thickened. Return chops to pan; turn to coat.
