Pork Chops With Pears

This was very good and used stuff I stock in my pantry. A simple way to serve an elegant dish! I used some strawberry/banana orange juice since that's what I had on hand, but the tastes still matched well. This is one for my recipe box! :)

Excellent recipe and very easy to make! My entire family enjoyed it. I have a very picky eater, and she wanted me to make it again the next day. My husband said it was restaurant quality. I did modify it a little. I had no OJ so I substituted the drained pear juice. I deglazed the frying pan with the sherry. I also used more cornstarch & water. I used about 2 Tbsp. cornstarch and 1/4 c water. This will definitely added to my monthly menu!

WOW! I served this over egg noodles with homegrown Swiss Chard on the side and we were in heaven! The sauce really makes this dish. I had leftover pork chops and needed something easy and pantry friendly. It felt way too fancy for a Thursday night. This is a real keeper!

I served this for a New Year's Eve dinner. Although it's very easy to prepare, it looks like I went to a great deal of trouble. The taste is superb...just a hint of cinnamon. My guests raved! Thanks for sharing, Pianolady!

I loved this! The DH is not the biggest fan of pork chops but he enjoyed this with the pears as well! Next time I want to try a variation of the recipe using apples!

I was surprised with how light and tasty this dish actually was. I just used orange juice instead of sherry (it needed a bit more cornstarch to thicken up as well) but I think it probably would've been better with the sherry, or at least some type of wine. The chops I used were maybe half an inch thick, and I cut off 10 minutes in the overall cooking time, but they still came out pretty dry so that was disappointing. I guess I'll have to shorten the time even more, or just skip browning them. But overall it was still very nice and I'm sure I'll make these again. These were also great with Asian pears!

This was delicious and moist! I used the OJ since I didn't have any sherry on hand and sprinkled flour in the pan instead of cornstarch. I just kept wisking in a little more till the sauce got a little thicker--I didn't actually cook it. Will definitely make this again! Thanks!

This is a great recipe if you are short on time and want something you can toss together and throw in the oven. Since my chops were thin like one of the other reviewers I reduced the time covered by 5 minutes and uncovered by about 7 minutes... they were perfect. We really liked the pears with the chops too. Thanks for another great recipe!

Absolutely delicious! I was looking for something I could make with what I had in the house, and I only had pears in syrup, but it worked well. I ended up with very moist pork chops with a yummy, sweet sauce.

I made this tonight and it was wonderful! I'm not normally a big fan of pork, but this was very good. I had to make one subsititution though. My grocery store didn't have sherry when I went so I had to use merlot instead. Still good though!

Pork chops and pears...who would have thought? DELICIOUS! A wonderful change of pace. DH and I especially enjoyed the autumn flavors of cinnamon/oj combo. I made this as part of my OAMC day - it smelled so great that it didn't make it to freezer! Thank you, Pianolady

I was in a hurry and didn't wait for the sauce at first and thought the pork chops were good, but not outstanding. Then I added some of the sauce and wow! Really good. Don't leave it off!

WONDERFUL combination of flavors. My H,a basic meat and potato man, used the words "nice flavor"! In a hurry, I forgot to make the gravy and the dish didn't skip a beat. Can only imagine how it will taste next time with gravy! HATS OFF to you, PIANOLADY!

This was a easy and change from everyday pork chops a must try. I used a white wine I had around the house. Turned out nice. My husband couldn't get enought.

I love pork chops but often have a problem with them being very dry, for this recipe I used nice thick chops and they were lovely and moist with a great flavour. Pork and pear is lovely together and we liked the sauce. Thanks for sharing.
