1. Season the pork chops with the salt and pepper. Put the olive oil into the cooking pot  of the Cuisinart® Pressure Cooker and select Brown. Once hot, add 2 of the pork chops and brown on both sides. Remove and reserve. Repeat with remaining pork chops.
2. Return the browned pork chops to the pot and add the apricot jam, broth, garlic and thyme sprigs. Secure the lid and select High Pressure. Set the time for 8 minutes. When the audible beep sounds, use Quick Pressure Release. Once pressure is completely released, the red indicator will drop.
3. Remove lid and transfer the pork chops to a serving plate. Remove and discard the garlic clove and thyme sprigs. Select Brown to simmer cooking liquid to thicken. Spoon over pork chops and serve immediately.
