Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C), ensuring it’s ready to bake these succulent pork chops to perfection.
-
-
Prepare Pork Chops: Take the pork chops and place them evenly in an ungreased 11 3/4 x 7 1/2 x 1 3/4 inch baking dish. Sprinkle both sides of the chops generously with salt, ensuring a flavorful seasoning throughout.
-
Soy Sauce Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the reserved syrup from the peach halves with the soy sauce. Mix well to create a flavorful glaze for the pork chops.
-
Brush Glaze: Brush the soy sauce mixture over the pork chops, ensuring each chop is evenly coated with the sweet and savory goodness.
-
Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with foil or a lid, and place it in the preheated oven. Allow the pork chops to bake for 40 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
-
Prepare Cranberry Mixture: While the pork chops are baking, mix together the whole berry cranberry sauce and brown sugar in a small bowl. This delicious cranberry mixture will add a burst of fruity flavor to the dish.
-
Add Peaches: After 40 minutes of baking, carefully remove the pork chops from the oven. Turn each chop over to ensure even cooking.
-
Top with Peaches: Place a peach half on top of each pork chop, and spoon 1 tablespoon of the cranberry mixture over each peach half, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake Uncovered: Return the baking dish to the oven, leaving it uncovered this time. Continue baking the pork chops for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, basting once during this time to keep the meat juicy and flavorful.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the pork chops are tender and cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven and serve hot. The combination of savory pork, sweet peaches, and tangy cranberry sauce is sure to delight your taste buds with every bite!
