Recipes : Pork Chops with Orange Cranberry Chutney

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless lean pork chops about 4 oz each
• ½ cup fresh cranberries
• ½ cup Mandarin oranges in their juice (I used one of the small fruit cups I buy for the toddler)
• ½ tbsp honey
• ¼ tsp all spice
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• 1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• Salt & Pepper
• Non-stick cooking spray

Place all berries, oranges, honey and spices together, give nutmeg and vinegar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes over high heat. The berries should pop and the body begin to break. Once the color depends, and mixing in a little "let up to a simmer until ready to use.

Although cooking. Season with salt and pepper on both sides of pork. Heat a greased skillet over medium heat and spray.

Add the chops in hot pan and cook about 5-6 minutes per side depending on thickness of chops.

If you have thick chops when cooking, it will help them to cook faster.

Remove chops and garnish with a dollop of cranberry chutney. I was with a side of steamed broccoli and whole wheat spaghetti. The food was great, although I the only person who ate the chutney!
