Preparation

Step 1

1. Lightly coat an unheated large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat over medium-high heat. Sprinkle all sides of the chops with salt and pepper. Add chops to hot skillet; reduce heat to medium and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until done (160 degrees F), turning once. Remove chops from skillet; cover to keep warm.

2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cranberry sauce, orange juice concentrate, honey, ginger, and nutmeg. Add cranberry mixture to same skillet. Cook, uncovered, for 1 to 2 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly. Serve over pork. Makes 4 (4 ounces cooked meat and 2 tablespoons sauce) servings.
