6 Servings
Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients

6 boneless pork loin chops (4 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 cup cranberry-apple juice
2 teaspoons honey
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
3 cups hot cooked brown rice

Directions

Sprinkle pork chops with pepper and salt. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook chops over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove and keep warm.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, juice and honey until smooth. Add to pan, stirring to loosen browned bits. Stir in the cranberries, tarragon and parsley. Bring to a boil; cook 2 minutes longer or until thickened and bubbly.
Return pork to the pan. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 4-6 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Serve with rice. Yield: 6 servings.
