Number Of Ingredients 6

4 pork chops, center cut
1 can(s) jellied cranberry sauce, 14 oz
1 Tbsp dried, grated orange peel
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
3 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • 2. Bring pork chops to room temp, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper (on both sides) before cooking.
  • 3. Pour oil in large, heavy skillet. Heat over medium-high heat until really hot (sorry, I didn't measure temp but it was searingly hot).
  • 4. In bowl, combine cranberry sauce and orange peel. Stir until well blended. You'll only need about half of this mixture, So, put 1/2 of this cranberry/orange mixture in sealed plastic container, refrigerate and save for later (it makes a TOTALLY yummy spread for your toast).
  • 5. To the remaining half of cranberry/orange mix, add balsamic vinegar and stir until blended.
  • 6. Arrange pork chops in hot skillet and sear just until browned then flip over and sear other side (about 2 min per side). **NOTE** This stuff splatters so be careful not to get burned!
  • 7. Transfer seared pork chops to 8x8 baking dish. Add 2-3 Tbsp of water in the bottom of the pan. Spread pork chops, generously, with cranberry mixture.
  • 8. Place on middle rack of preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  • 9. At the very end of baking time, switch oven to broil to "caramelize" cranberry glaze. Watch it closely... this only takes a minute or so.
  • 10. Remove from oven, let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: For this recipe, bone-in pork chops are recommended. They provide more flavor and moisture than boneless pork chops.
  • Marinate the pork chops: Marinating the pork chops in a mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, and thyme helps to tenderize and flavor the meat.
  • Cook the pork chops properly: Cook the pork chops over medium heat until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the pork chops are cooked through but still juicy.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by adding a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth. Then, add the slurry to the sauce and stir until thickened.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides: These pork chops can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.

Conclusion:

These pork chops with cranberry balsamic sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are tender and flavorful, and the sauce is tangy and sweet. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
