Simple & fast to prepare. You may vary the spice & fruit combo to your liking. I originally got the basic recipe from Quick Cooking Magazine.

Categories     Pork

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 -6 pork chops, bone in (about 1/2-inch thick)
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, to taste
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
fresh ground pepper, to taste
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat oil on medium heat and brown pork chops briefly on both sides (maye 1-2 minutes per side); Do not overcook at this point or they will get tough!
  • Pour oranges on top and sprinkle with cloves and some black pepper & salt to taste.
  • Cover and simmer over low heat until pork chops are cooked through (about 15 min for 4, 25-30 min for 6 ,approx).
  • Cooking time will vary depending upon the size and meatiness of your chops- check early for doneness.
  • Variation: You may substitute a different spice & fruit combo such as canned peach slices with allspice, apricots with nutmeg, pineapple with cloves.
  • You may also substitute skinless boneless chicken breasts for the pork, but the cooking time may be less as chicken dries out quickly.
