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 Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and rain. I’m still blown away by this crazy weather. It feels like it’s never going to end. I just hope everyone is safe.
🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
