Apple Cranberry Porkchops

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 boneless pork loin chops (1/2 inch thick and 5 ounces each)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon Crisco® Pure Olive Oil
  • 2/3 cup apple juice
  • 1 small apple, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons dried cherries or cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon cold waterI
INGREDIENTS

Sprinkle pork chops with thyme and salt. In a large skillet, cook pork in oil for 3-4 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Remove and keep warm.

In the same skillet, combine apple juice, apple, cranberries and onion. Bring to a bowl.

In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water until smooth, stir into skillet. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Spoon over pork.

VERDICT

Another easy, quick recipe. The pork still tastes dry to me, I hate when directions say to cook it dry with just some seasoning. It always tastes better to me when it cooks with the juices at the same time. I may try and rework this recipe to do that, but overall this was very good!

  1. I love these suggestions- I'm going to try this recipe again following these directions:

    Trick to make them not so dry....I only seared the outside (2 mins each side) then when I was making the apple cranberry stuff....added more apple juice and put the pork back in ..... made them moist and sweet. Turned out great....even kids ate them!!!
