On Saturday I sat in my favorite place and wrote a recipe for that night’s dinner. I’ve made pork with apples before, but I’ve never written down a recipe. So I decided to finally write a recipe based off of what I do and what I like. This time, I added pears to the mix because I’ve seen some really lovely pears at the store these days. It’s fun and festive. Unfortunately, I was so caught up in cooking and chatting that I forgot to take pictures. I assure you it’s beautiful and delicious, though.
Apple and Peark Pork Chops
4 pork chops
2 pears chopped
2 apples chopped
1 onion chopped
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp ginger
salt & pepper to taste
Caramelize the apples, pears, and onions in the butter. Add the sugar and spices, stirring together quickly. Scoop the apples, pears, and onions into a bowl, then sear the pork. Add the sauce back into the pan. Cook until done. Serve with lightly sweetened carrots and any other side(s) of your choosing. We chose macaroni and cheese and soft pretzels.
