It’s the perfect option for both elegant dinners and cozy weeknight meals. Plus, it’s ready in just 20 minutes, making it easy to impress without effort.
Start by seasoning the bone-in pork chops with a generous sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Next, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear those chops for about 3 minutes on each side, achieving a lovely golden-brown crust. Then, take them out of the pan. In the same skillet, toss in the cranberries, orange juice, maple syrup, rosemary, and grated ginger. Bring this delightful mixture to a boil until the cranberries soften beautifully. Finally, return the pork chops along with their juices to the skillet and cook gently in the fruity sauce to absorb all the delightful flavors. To gild the lily, garnish with a few orange slices and a sprig of fresh rosemary before serving.
To make the Cranberry Pork Chops, you will need the following ingredients:
Using paper towels, dry 4 bone-in pork chops. Season them on both sides with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the pork chops and sear them until light brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops to a plate.
To the same skillet, add 3 cups cranberries, ¾ cup orange juice, ⅓ cup maple syrup, 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary, and 1 teaspoon finely grated ginger and bring to a boil. Let boil until most of the cranberries have burst and all are soft.
Put the pork chops and any juices left on the plate back into the skillet. Cover the pan with a lid and cook the pork chops for another 5 minutes or until they are cooked through.
Garnish with orange slices and a sprig of rosemary. Serve immediately!
