Ingredients

4 servings

3 pears - peeled, cored and chopped 3 tablespoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons lemon juice ¾ cup pear juice 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, or to taste 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 6 thin cut boneless pork chops

Pasta with Chicken

Instructions

Step 1

Start by combining the pears, brown sugar, lemon juice, pear juice, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring now and then until it thickens up. Once thickened, pour the sauce into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour it back into the saucepan, cover, and let it simmer gently on low heat for another 15 minutes. Take it off the heat and let the sauce cool while you cook the pork chops. Heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the pork chops for about 8 minutes total, flipping halfway through, until they’re cooked all the way. When everything’s ready, spoon the pear sauce over the chops and enjoy!
