Directions (continued)

Remove from the heat; cover and let stand for 5 minutes or until
moisture is absorbed.
Cut a deep slit in each pork chop, forming a pocket. Stuff about 1/4
cup cherry mixture into each chop; secure with toothpicks. Sprinkle
with pepper. In a large skillet, cook chops in oil for 8-10 minutes
on each side until pork is no longer pink and a thermometer reads
145°. Remove and keep warm. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Add flour, rosemary and salt to the pan juices; stir until blended.
Gradually stir in broth and cream. Bring to a boil; cook and stir
for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with pork chops. Yield: 4
servings.
