Serves 4
Ingredients:
4 each pork loin chops, ½” thick
½ large sweet onion, sliced
1 quart home-made applesauce
1 ounce good bourbon (substitution: ⅓ cup white wine, but the bourbon is better!)
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
1 large sprig fresh rosemary (2 – 3 TBSP, chopped)
2 Clementine oranges (or mandarins), divided into
sections,
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1 fully-loaded black pepper grinder.
Generously season pork loin chops with fresh ground pepper. In a large cast iron pan brown pork loin chops
and onion in canola oil. Sear chops well on both sides.
When the chops are almost cooked through add applesauce, bourbon, cinnamon, nutmeg, a rosemary and Clementine orange slices.
Continue to heat for 20 minutes or so cooking down the
applesauce, adjusting seasoning to taste. In the last 5 minutes add dried cranberries and finish cooking. We serve this in the cast iron pan.
Serve with freshly baked acorn squash; covering the
squash with the applesauce gravy. Yumm!
