Balsamic Pork and Apples

1. 1

   Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

2. 2

   Sprinkle salt and pepper on pork chops to taste and saute until browned and fully cooked (about 5 minutes on each side depending on thickness of chop).

3. 3

   Remove chops.

4. 4

   In same skillet, add remaining olive oil and saute apple wedges (we cut them into slices instead of wedges) on both sides until lightly browned and tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.

5. 5

   In a small bowl, mix chicken broth, vinegar, cornstarch and sugar and whisk thoroughly (sugar blends better if chicken broth is warm).

6. 6

   Add mixture to skillet with apples.

7. 7

   Heat to boiling and return pork to skillet to heat through.

8. 8

   (Our chops were thick so we let them simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes).

9. 9

   Very good served with couscous or egg noodles.

    Variations: Add 1/2 cup raisins or dried or fresh cranberries to skillet when you add the liquid.

11. 11

    If using fresh cranberries, leave on the heat a few minutes until they pop.
