Ingredients

• 6 center cut pork loin chops, each about 1/2" thick
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• Pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle the chops lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large skilled over medium-high heat. Add chops and brown on both sides, in batches if necessary. Top with oranges and cranberries, sprinkle with cloves and add broth.
