Steps:
- To prepare the cranberry filling: Soak 1 cup dried cranberries in the boiling water for 20 minutes. Drain the cranberries, reserving 1/4 cup of the water. Place the cranberries, reserved water, 2 tablespoons pine nuts, cinnamon, cloves, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar in a food processor. Process until finely chopped; set aside.
- Bring the chicken stock to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer until the chicken stock has reduced to half its original volume, about 15 minutes. Add the white wine, red wine, cranberry juice, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Continue cooking until the sauce has reduced by half again, about 10 minutes. Keep warm.
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Cut a pocket into the side of each pork chop, about 3/4 of the way through. Stuff each pork chop with the dried cranberry mixture, then season on all sides with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the olive oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. Cook the pork chops on one side until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the pork chops over, and cook another few minutes until browned on the other side too.
- Pour 1 cup of the sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Place the skillet in the preheated oven, and bake until the pork is no longer pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
- To serve, place each pork chop onto a warmed dinner plate, and spoon the sauce from the skillet over top. Sprinkle the pork chops with 2 tablespoons dried cranberries and 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts for decoration. Serve with the remaining cranberry sauce.

Tips:
- For the best results, use thick-cut pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help to ensure that the chops stay juicy and tender during cooking.
- Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside juicy.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the pork chops for an additional 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- While the pork chops are cooking, make the cranberry sauce. This can be done by simmering cranberries, sugar, water, and spices in a saucepan until the cranberries have softened and the sauce has thickened.
- Once the pork chops are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Serve the pork chops with the cranberry sauce and your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Pork chops with cranberries is a classic dish that is perfect for a special occasion meal. The pork chops are juicy and tender, and the cranberry sauce is tart and sweet. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
