Name: Maple and Honey-Glazed Pork Chops and Pears
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 50 min
Yield: 4 serving(s)
Ingredients: 2 pears, ripe but firm, peeled, halved and seeded; 2 tbsp butter; 2 tbsp (30 ml) maple creamed honey; 2 tbsp (30 ml) apple cider vinegar; 2 garlic cloves, halved; 2 rosemary sprigs; 1/2 cup (125 ml) beef broth; 4 bone-in pork chops, each about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick; 2 tbsp butter; 1 tbsp (15 ml) maple creamed honey; 1 tbsp (15 ml) apple cider vinegar

Preparation

Caramelized Pears
- In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, brown the pears in the butter on each side. Add the honey, vinegar, garlic and rosemary. Continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until the pears are tender and nicely caramelized. Set aside on a plate.
- Add the broth to the skillet and simmer for 1 minute. Remove and compost the garlic and rosemary. Set the broth aside in a bowl.
Glazed Pork Chops
- In the same skillet over medium-high heat, brown the pork chops in the butter for 5 minutes on each side. Season with salt and pepper. Add the honey and vinegar. Continue to cook for 1 minute, coating the pork well with the pan sauce, or until the meat is nicely glazed. Set the meat aside on another plate.
- Add the beef broth mixture to the skillet. Bring to a boil and let reduce until the sauce is slightly thickened and syrupy.
- Serve the pork chops and pears on plates. Drizzle with the sauce. Serve with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable, if desired.
