Cranberry Glazed Pork Chops

Holly Espinosa

Report

Cranberry Glazed Pork Chops are elegant and "comfy" at the same time. The savory pork and glistening berries make it a perfect dish for Valentine's Day or Christmas dinner.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Melt the butter in an oven-safe braiser or all metal frying pan. Add the chopped onion and sautee until tender. Push onions to the sides then arrange pork chops in the pan so the onions surround them (not under them). Salt and pepper the pork chops, then place in oven to bake for 25 minutes.
While pork chops bake, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, dry mustard, chili powder and nutmeg in a bowl and mix well. Stir in the cranberries.
When 25 minutes is up, remove the pan from the oven. Pour the cranberry mixture in, stir into the onions, then spoon over the pork chops. Bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, until the sauce begins to caramelize. If desired top with orange slices as a garnish. Serve immediately.

Notes

To serve two, I use three pork chops and keep the other ingredients the same (my husband gets two). Or I'll make it as is, and have some tasty leftovers!If you don't have a pan that can transfer from stovetop to oven, you can sautee the onions in a small frying pan first, then transfer them to a 9x9 baking dish for baking with the pork chops.
