Pork Chops with Pears

By: Kathy Stooksbury 
"Pear slices make a satisfying alternative to apples in this down-home dish sent in by Kathy Stooksbury of Aiken, South Carolina. She dresses up the easy entree even further by adding a hint of brown sugar for sweetness."

Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (15 ounce) can pear halves
  • 6 (3/4 inch) thick bone-in pork chops
  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon prepared mustard

Directions

  1. Drain pears, reserving the juice; cut pears into slices and set aside. In a large skillet, brown the pork chops in butter. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, mustard and reserved pear juice. Pour over chops; top with pear slices. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F.
