Smoked Pork Chops with Sauteed Apples and Currants Recipe

Smoked Pork Chops with Sauteed Apples and Currants Recipe

  • 3 tablespoons Lucerne Sweet Cream Butter
  • 2 tablespoons dried currants
  • 4 large Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and each cut into 8 wedges
  • 4 (6 ounce) bone-in smoked pork chops
  • 3 teaspoons sugar
  1. In a 12- to 14-inch nonstick frying pan over high heat, stir 1 teaspoon butter with the currants until the currants puff, about 2 minutes. Pour currants from pan into a small bowl and set aside.
  2. To pan, add 1 1/2 more tablespoons butter. Reduce heat to medium-high and lay apple wedges in pan in a single layer. Cook until apples are lightly browned and feel soft when pressed, 15 to 20 minutes; turn slices occasionally with a spatula to brown both sides.
  3. While apples cook, add remaining butter to another 12- to 14-inch frying pan over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook, turning occasionally, until meat is lightly browned and heated through, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a platter and keep warm.
  4. When apples are done, sprinkle fruit with sugar and return currants to pan. Shake pan to mix and brown apples for 1 more minute. Spoon apples and currants over pork chops and serve.
