Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides, then place them in the baking dish.

  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, orange juice, honey, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic over medium heat.

  4. Stir occasionally and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened.

  5. Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly. Blend the cranberry mixture until smooth using a blender or food processor.

  6. Pour the cranberry sauce over the pork chops, coating each chop evenly.

  7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.

  8. Remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the sauce to caramelize slightly.

  9. Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

  10. Garnish with fresh parsley.
