Pork Chops with Pears
SUBMITTED 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."

My family loved this. The chops came out very tender and I liked the pears better than apples. I didn't change anything in the recipe. Thanks!

This was really delicious. I was running behind so instead of baking the chops I browned them, then poured the sauce over and cooked with the lid on for about 20 minutes, adding the pears in toward the end just to warm them. Really tasty.

This is a keeper. I covered the skillet and cooked it that way (one less dish to wash) and then added a little cornstarch & pear juice right at the end of cooking time to thicken up the sauce and served it over the pork chops and pears and garnished with fresh parsley. Very nice!

Awesome. Extremely delicious. I used two large cans of pears and I baked the chops all the way instead of browning them first. Half way through baking I sprinkled more brown sugar on top and added cinnamon. The whole family loved it. I will definately make this again.

Good recipe but pears are soggy and formless. I make a similar recipe with fresh pear slices and a splash of white wine. Pears stay intact and are a great accompaniment. I also use thinner chops that cook at the same rate as pears so both are done at the same time.

The only change I made was seasoning the chops with garlic salt & pepper before I browned them. It was a toss up between giving this recipe a 4 or 5 because there is really nothing outstanding about it. But then I realized it doesn't claim to be gourmet. This is an excellent, solid recipe. Never would I consider the combination of mustard, pears & brown sugar! So easy to make, throw it in the oven and forget about it, with all that liquid there are no worries about the pork chops drying out. The absolute ease of preparation and good, comfortable flavor make this a solid 5 star. ****** Edited to add: We were without a stove/oven & I made this in the crock pot, wow! We live out of the country & can't get canned pears so I've substituted fresh pear slices & apple juice. Have a stove again but now I just brown the pork chops and cook in the slow cooker all day. My family LOVES this recipe. *****

This is very easy recipe to make. I browned my pork chops in a cast iron skillet, with olive oil. Then I poured the remaining ingredients into the pan over the pork chops, and cooked it in the oven for 40 min. The pork chops were very tender and the sauce was a little sweet and went great over some white rice. We enjoyed this very much, will make this again...thanks

made this for my family and they loved it! I only had fresh pairs so I substituted white wine and balsamic for the pear juice. Also did a salt and pepper rub with garlic powder for almost a hour before cooking. Delicious!!!

A little bland because the meat didn't absorb the sauce which was great. I will not be making it again.
