Recipe: Baked Cranberry Pork Chops
Ingredients:
- 6 pork chops
- 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). |
| 2 | Place the pork chops in a baking dish, ensuring they’re arranged evenly. |
| 3 | In a bowl, mix together the whole berry cranberry sauce, lemon juice, and ground nutmeg until well combined. |
| 4 | Pour the cranberry sauce mixture over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Save enough of the sauce to put 1 teaspoon in each of the peach halves. |
| 5 | Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until they are cooked through and tender. You can check for doneness by using a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). |
| 6 | While the pork chops are baking, if desired, you can also prepare some peach halves by removing the pits and placing them in the remaining cranberry sauce mixture, each half getting a teaspoon of sauce. |
| 7 | Once the pork chops are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. |
| 8 | Arrange the baked pork chops and peach halves on a platter to serve, and garnish with some fresh herbs if desired. |
