Pecan-Crusted Pork with Pumpkin Butter

SUBMITTED BY: Drew  PHOTO BY: Drew 

"This is one of my favorite ways to eat pork. Pork chops are crusted in pecans and breadcrumbs, then topped with a delicious homemade pumpkin butter. (You can always use store bought pumpkin butter if you can find it but homemade is always better)."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 (14 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup apple juice
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 pinch ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup pecans
  • 3/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 4 (1/2 inch thick) boneless pork chops
  • 1/4 cup oil for frying

DIRECTIONS

  1. Whisk together pumpkin puree, apple juice, sugar, cloves, ginger, and cinnamon in a saucepan until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the mixture has reached the consistency of applesauce. About 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, pulse pecans and bread crumbs in a food processor until the pecans are finely chopped. Pour into a shallow dish, and press pork chops into the mixture to coat.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add breaded pork chops and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve the pork chops with a dollop of pumpkin butter.
