Menu Planner Menu Planner   PORK CHOPS WITH CRANBERRIES  

 
INGREDIENTS

¼ tsp. dried thyme leaves
¼ tsp. salt, divided
¼ tsp. freshly ground pepper, divided
4 boneless pork loin chops (1-1¼ pounds), trimmed of fat
cup cranberry juice cocktail or orange juice
2½-3 tbsp. clover or other mild honey
2 tsp. canola oil
¼ cup chopped onion
1 cup cranberries, fresh or frozen, thawed, coarsely chopped
RECIPE

  • Mix thyme and ⅛ teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle both sides of pork chops with the thyme mixture.
  • Stir cranberry juice and 2½ tbsp. honey in a 1-cup glass measure until well blended.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
  • Add the chops and cook until browned on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Remove chops to a plate.
  • Add onion to the empty skillet and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and beginning to brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Return chops and any accumulated juices to pan and pour half of juice mixture in pan with cranberries.
  • Reduce heat to medium and cook, turning the chops occasionally, until cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Transfer the chops to a serving plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Add the remaining juice mixture to the skillet.
  • Increase heat to high and cook until the mixture reduces to form a syrupy sauce, about 2 minutes.
  • Season with the remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt and pepper and up to an additional ½ tablespoon honey to taste.
  • Spoon the sauce over the chops.
