Blueberry Pomegranate-Tarragon Marinated Pork Chops

WiGal's Note:

Nick Stellino recipe that I copied from the newspaper. I do not see this recipe at his web site though. I have increased the tarragon. Preparation includes marinading time. Very healthy for a meat dish. I think this recipe would be good for chicken breasts also. RZ does not recognize this new vinegar by Pompeian who sells it. If you cannot buy the vinegar, try Blueberry Pomegranate Infused Red Wine Vinegar.

Wonderful! Used your Blueberry Pomegranate Infused Red Wine Vinegar and baked at 350 for an hour instead of grilling. Lots of flavor without being overpowering. We did decrease the tarragon to 1.5 tsp and that was perfect for our tastes. Thanks for sharing!
