The cherry salsa added a very nice cool and tangy element to the chops. I chose to bake my chops though, instead of pan frying, which was only personal preference. I would like to try this recipe again on a hot summer night when cooler dishes seem to be the order of the day. Thanks for sharing your recipe, xxciv. Made for Spring 2010 Pick-A-Chef.
