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.

PULLED PORK WITH GINGER SAUCE
It's almost sacrilegious for a South Carolinian from the capitol city to make any sauce for pulled pork except mustard-based. But we love this Asian-inspired Ginger Sauce. Wonderful in a sandwich it's also great over rice. -Mary Marlowe Leverette, Columbia, South Carolina

Steps:
- Place rack on second level from bottom in oven. Heat oven to 500 degrees.
- Combine salt, cinnamon, cardamom and pepper in a small bowl.
- Place tenderloins side by side in a 12-by-8-by-1 1/2-inch roasting pan. Using your fingers, rub the dry seasonings on all surfaces of each tenderloin. Smear all over with the oil.
- Roast for 10 minutes. Turn over each one; roast another 10 minutes.
- While pork is roasting, puree pear in a food processor or blender until liquid; it should be 1/2 cup.
- Remove tenderloin to a serving platter. Pour off fat in pan and place over high heat. Add pear puree, boil and scrape pan with a wooden spoon to remove browned bits.
- Slice the pork crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces. Toss with the sauce. Serve warm or at room temperature, accompanied by party rye bread.
Tips:
- Choose ripe pears: Use ripe, firm pears that are not too soft or bruised. This will ensure that they hold their shape during cooking and provide a slightly sweet and juicy flavor to the dish.
- Slice the pears evenly: Cut the pears into even-sized slices so that they cook evenly. This will help to prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked while others remain undercooked.
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger provides a more intense flavor than ground ginger. If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can substitute 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger for each tablespoon of fresh ginger called for in the recipe.
- Cook the pork until it is cooked through: Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) to ensure that it is safe to eat.
- Reduce the sauce until it is thickened: Simmer the sauce over medium-low heat until it has thickened and reduced by about half. This will help to concentrate the flavors and create a more flavorful sauce.
- Serve the dish immediately: Pork with pear and ginger sauce is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the pork is still tender and juicy and that the sauce is still hot and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Pork with pear and ginger sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet pears, savory pork, and spicy ginger creates a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious meal that is sure to impress your family and friends.
