Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons dried rosemary
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the fresh cranberries, orange juice, honey, brown sugar, and dried rosemary to the skillet. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cook the cranberry glaze for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the cranberry glaze over them.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the pork chops cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the pork chops warm with the cranberry glaze spooned over the top. Pair with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
