Marsala Braised Pork Chops

Source of Recipe

Dimitri - rec.food.cooking
Salt and Pepper some nice thick boneless loin pork chops.

Brown in EVOO nicely.

When nicely browned add 2 diced Granny smith apples lifting the chops and
placing them on top of the apples.

Deglaze the pan with 1/2 cup each of sweet Marsala and inexpensive balsamic
vinegar. Add 1/3 cup dried cranberries.

Add a can of chicken stock, reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 hour or
until, the chops are tender.

Plate the chops and thicken the remaining braising liquid with a cornstarch
slurry. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Spoon the apple/cranberry/sauce over the chops

Note I added some thyme and a little garlic but the herbs are up to you -
the Marsala & Balsamic IMHO have enough flavor and don't need to be
overpowered with herbs.
