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

Calories per serving: 181,  Fat:  3.6,  Cholesterol:  55,  Sodium:  52,  Potassium:  70, Carbs: 10,  Fiber:  1,  Sugar:  4,  Protein: 26

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 Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!
