Pork with Cranberries and Pear Recipe

November 19, 2011 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 11 Comments

Hi and Happy Saturday!

I’m off to San Francisco to do some Christmas shopping, even though I don’t know what to buy anyone since they didn’t give me a list!  So I guess I’ll wing it, one thing about me, is I don’t have a problem shopping!  Speaking of shopping, I have something for you!!  But before we get to that, I was so surprised when I read an e-mail from Cooking with Trader Joe’s, it was about all different Trader Joe’s foods and holiday recipes from there cookbook.   I was scoping the recipes and I saw one from me!  It was for last years Cranberry, Cherry Walnut Sauce that I entered onto there website.   I didn’t even know, glad I read the e-mail!  I was the only recipe from a reader on the e-mail.  I’m so happy and proud!  🙂

With all my happiness I feel the need to give!  Guess what, this my first give away, I’m so excited, I am giving Bobby Flay’s Bar Americian Cookbook, with his signature in it!

This is a really nice cookbook, I got one for me and one for you, it’s in perfect condition, I didn’t even open yours.


This cookbook is perfect for holiday entertaining or even for giving as a Christmas present to a foodie in your family.  There are lots of recipes from drinks, appetizers, salads, burgers, main meals and more.

It’s really easy to win, I’ll post the rules at the bottom of my blog, I’ll pick a winner on Monday evening and announce the winner on Tuesday morning’s post.

I made a great recipe this week, it’s Pork Chops with Pear and Cranberry Sauce.  It’s perfect for the season and full of flavor.

First I browned the Pork on all sides in an oven safe skillet.

Set the Pork on a plate and add onions in the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes until tender.

Then add 1/4 Cup of fresh cranberries and 1 tsp of brown sugar.  Give a good stir and cook for about 1 minute.

Then add the Pork back into the skillet.

Add the pears and apple cider or apple juice and then flip the pork, you want to make sure both sides have the sauce from the pan on it.

Place the whole skillet in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.

Pork Chops with Pear and Cranberry Sauce

1 lbs. Boneless Pork Chops

1/2 Onion – Sliced

1/4 Cup Fresh Cranberries

1 tsp.  Brown Sugar

1 Large Pear – sliced

1/2 Cup Apple Cider or Apple Juice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350

Pepper and Salt Boneless Pork Chops on both sides.

In an oven safe skillet, spray with cooking spray and place on medium heat.  Brown Pork Chops on all sides.  Set Pork aside on a plate.

In the same skillet add onions and stir until tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Add cranberries and brown sugar.  Stir and cook for about 30 seconds.

Add your Pork back into the skillet and add the Pears and Apple Cider.

Turn the Pork over so that both sides are coated with the sauce.

Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.

Let the pork cool for about 4 minutes so the juices run back in and serve with the  Pears and Cranberry sauce from the pan.  I served the whole skillet at the table.

Makes 4-4oz servings

Enjoy!

I had left overs so I had it for lunch and the next day, heated in the microwave it was still tender, maybe even better then the first day!  The flavors are unbelievable.

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of Ju Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of July weekend already! I’m not sure what our plans are, but I’m sure cooking on the bbq will be happening. It should be a nice weekend. 
🇺🇸
I thought I would share with you the little corner in my dining room that I decorated for the 4th of July. If you do not have any patriotic decor, all you have to do is add a flag to it. 
🇺🇸
Do you have any plans for this holiday weekend?

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.
💕
Do you eat at the dining room table or do you prefer the kitchen counter?

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.
💕
One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Do you sleep in your stomach, back or side?

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

My beautiful “Summer” cutout sign is from @krumpetshomedecor and it’s also the deal of the week. You get an extra 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link is in my bio.
