CranApple Pork Chops

This week I am really excited about the post!  I am participating in a 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop being hosted by The Book of Lou Lou!  To find Lou Lou's blog, click on the icon above!  The blog hop will have several days of food, crafts, and lots of other fun Christmas things for you to re-create!  Ok, now lets get to the food bc lets face it, that's what we really love right lol!

So, when I was ask1. ed this past week to participate in the 12 Days of Christmas I knew I needed to do something that was festive.  I had already been thinking of some ways to spruce up my pork chops with a little holiday love and this was the perfect time.  Not only do they look good, they taste fantastic!!  I am quite proud of my creation!

What you need:
2-4 boneless pork chops (depends on how many you're looking to serve... the sauce will serve about 6-8)
Tony Chachare Seasoning (I don't measure I just sprinkle some on)
1 cup of whole cranberries
1 cup of chopped apples
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup bakers sugar (you can use regular sugar but bakers sugar is more fine and doesn't leave a granulated texture in the sauce. regular sugar will)
1 cup water

 

How you do it:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350*

2. Season pork chops and bake for 25 min.  

 

3. Chop apples into small pieces then put them and the cranberries in a sauce pan on medium heat.

 

4. Add water, sugar, and cinnamon to fruit mixture.

5. Stir continuously until a sauce is created.  This will take approximately 10-15 minutes. Make sure you keep stirring to avoid it burning and sticking to the saucepan.

 



6. Once sauce and pork chops are done, plate the pork and put a spoonful of sauce along the top of the meat! THEN EAT!!

 

This meal should take approximately half an hour including prep and cook time.  You can pair it with mashed potatoes or if you want to go for a light side, try mashed cauliflower instead.

 

Hope you all enjoy this dish!!  Remember to come back after you've tried it and tell me how you liked it! Don't forget to click on the 12 Days of Christmas Icon up top and check out the other entries there! I am day 3 so there is plenty more to come in the next few days!
