List of Ingredients

4 pork shoulder chops
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 (16-ounce) can jellied cranberry sauce
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
3 tablespoons water, divided
1 teaspoon ground ginger
6 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups julienned carrots
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes


Recipe

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle chops on both sides with onion powder; set aside. In a medium-size saucepan, heat cranberry sauce, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons water, ginger and nutmeg until cranberry sauce is melted, about 2 minutes.

Place carrots in a 2 1/2-quart casserole; arrange pork chops over carrots. Spoon cranberry sauce mixture evenly over pork chops.

Cover and bake until pork is thoroughly cooked, about 45 minutes. Remove chops to a serving plate; scatter carrots over chops. Pour sauce remaining in casserole into a medium-size saucepan. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with remaining 1 tablespoon water; stir into saucepan and cook, stirring, until sauce is clear and thickened, about 2 minutes. Spoon over pork chops; sprinkle with parsley flakes. Makes 4 servings.
