Kona K's Glazed Cherry and Apple Pork Chops

Submitted by Kona K

"The sweet yet tangy cherry-apple sauce complements the pork very well. Fancy enough for company, but so simple and easy to make. Adapted from a Better Homes & Garden recipe."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 4 chops
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 4 pork chops, trimmed of all visible fat (approx. 1/2 inch thin)
• salt and pepper
• 3⁄4 cup cranberry juice
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 cup canned sweet cherries, pitted
• 1⁄2 cup apple, cored and diced

directions

1. Season each side of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
2. Combine cranberry juice, Dijon mustard, corn starch, cherries and apples in a small pot. Heat over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the liquid is thick and simmering gently.
3. Remove sauce from heat and set aside.
4. Spray a pan with non-stick cooking spray. Cook the pork chops over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through (make sure there's no pink). If the chops start to stick, use a little olive oil.
5. To serve: spoon some of the cherry-apple glaze over each pork chop.
