Cranberries add a pop of bright flavor and color to savory dishes. Try our cranberry meatballs, orange cranberry roast chicken, and Thanksgiving leftovers eggs benedict. To make them, simply pan sear the pork chops until they’re lightly golden, then set them aside to make the cranberry sauce. Combine the remaining ingredients in the same pan, and simmer until the cranberries pop. Tuck the pork chops into the sauce, and cook for a few more minutes until they’re done. Serve them over a bed of mashed potatoes or rice with a simple vegetable side for a delicious complete meal that is anything but ordinary!

Pork chops cooked in olive oil – we use bone-in pork chops because we find them to be more tender, but you can use boneless ones if you prefer. Salt and pepper – for seasoning the pork chops. Cranberries – fresh or frozen both work well. Orange juice – for a hint of citrus taste, and because cranberries and orange are the perfect flavor match. You can use freshly squeezed or store-bought. Maple syrup – adds rich maple flavor and sweetens up the tart cranberries. Rosemary – fresh rosemary is aromatic with unique hints of evergreen, citrus, pine, and sage. Ginger – a slightly spicy, slightly sweet addition to round out the festive flavors.
