Boneless Pork Chops in White Port Sauce, Sweet Carrots, and Wild Rice

John & I went to Temecula for a quick weekend get-away.  We picked up some gourmet items at the South Coast Winery.  One of them was this Spicy Apple Garlic Jam.  We also picked up some White Port at a wine tasting and sale with our PRP Wine broker in Orange, CA.  We thought the combination of flavors would be a perfect match for pork, so we thought this dish up in the car on the way home and stopped to buy fresh boneless pork chops at our local market.
