Plum Good Pork Chops

This is an ultimate fall dish so to welcome this first day of fall, I decided to make this dish tonight.  We still have buckets of plums laying around here from our two plum trees

so making pork chops with plums instead of applesauce just makes sense to me (except that we have dozens of jars of applesauce, too!)  I just love pork chops with fruit and plums work just as good as applesauce.  This is the pork chop version of my plum good chicken and since it is fall, I can use fresh plums and not plum jam. You can swap the chicken with pork chops for either recipe.  Our pork chops are local, they come from a farm just down the street called Headstead.  All their meat is grass fed and natural and you can tell the difference.  I love their pork chops.  Good quality ingredients is going to make any recipe even better.  And I love this one.

Serves 2

2 bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick
salt and pepper
1 onion, sliced
4 plums, pitted and large diced
5 sage leaves, chopped

1.  With a paper towel, pat dry the pork chops.  Season both sides with salt and pepper.

2.  Trim off the fat around the edges of each pork chop and sauté in the skillet to provide fat to sear the pork chops with.

3.  Once there is enough fat in the skillet to sear the pork chops, remove the fat and let cool on a paper towel.

4.  Then feed the fat to the chickens.  Chickens LOVE fat of any kind!

5.  Sear the pork chops on each side.

6.  Add the sliced onions and put the lid on to cook for 10 minutes.

7. Add the plums and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

8.  Add the sage and once again cook an additional 7 minutes with the lid on.

Enjoy your Plum Good Pork Chops.
