Trim any excess fat from the chops. In a skillet brown the chops slowly in hot oil. Remove the chops to a 9 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan. Combine the brown sugar, orange peel, salt and ginger, stir in the orange juice and pour it over the chops. Cover and bake in a 350ºF. oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until the chops are tender. Transfer the chops to a warm platter. Skim the fat from cooking liquid. Measure the liquid. If necessary, add water to cooking liquid to measure 3/4 cup total. In a saucepan combine the cold water and cornstarch, add the 3/4 cup liquid. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for an additional 2 minutes more. Spoon some sauce over the chops.
