PORK CHOPS WITH PEAR SAUCE
I created this recipe because I have found that many pork recipes have little flavor, are too spicy, or just require too much work. My husband and I prefer sweet food rather than spicy or sour, hence a new pork recipe was born. This is delicious when served with rice and green vegetables as side dishes.

- If you don't have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or apple cider.

- Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
