Cranberry Pork Chops Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by seasoning and searing bone-in pork chops to develop a golden surface. A sauce is prepared in the same pan by boiling cranberries with orange juice, maple syrup, rosemary, and ginger until the berries soften and burst. Adding the seared pork chops and covering the pan allows the meat to finish cooking while absorbing the sauce's bright and slightly sweet flavors. The rosemary and grated ginger add herbal and warm spice notes that complement the tartness of the cranberries.
This dish combines the hearty texture of pork chops with the lively sauce, making it suitable for a main course served alongside vegetables or grains. Garnishing with fresh orange slices and rosemary enhances its presentation and adds subtle citrus aroma.
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cups Cranberry fresh or frozen
- ¾ cup orange juice
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons rosemary minced fresh
- 1 teaspoon ginger finely grated
- orange to garnish, orange slices; fresh rosemary sprig
- rosemary to garnish, orange slices; fresh rosemary sprig
Instructions
- Dry the pork chops with paper towels then season them on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops until they are light brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove them from the pan.
- Add the cranberries, orange juice, maple syrup, rosemary, and ginger to the pan and bring it to a boil. Let it boil until most of the cranberries have popped and are soft.
- Put the pork chops and any juices that accumulated on the plate back into the pan. Cover the pan and cook the pork chops for 5 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Garnish with some sliced oranges and a sprig of rosemary.
