However, I had some pork chops brining in the fridge and wanted to cook them, so last night, I did.

Ingredients:
• Four large pork chops, brined in a salt bath for two days
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup red wine
• ¼ cup cherry preserves
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Dash of Hungarian paprika

Method:
• Season chops with salt, black pepper and paprika
• Heat an oven proof skillet, add oil and when it begins to ribbon along the bottom of the pan, add the pork chops
• Sear the chops on both sides
• Add the red wine and the preserves to the pan
• Place the pan in a 400 degree oven for 5-10 minutes (depending upon the thickness of your chops)
• Remove the chops from the pan and place the skillet onto a burner, reducing the liquid into a thick sauce, serve


The chops were mois, juicy and tender, the sauce added just the right amount of sweetness and overall the dish turned out delightful.
