I ran across this recipe in an old cookbook that I found in a second hand store. I thought it sounded interesting, tried it and my kids thought it was great. It is kind of a spin on sweet and sour pork but instead of pineapple you use mandarin oranges. I add a little corn starch to the sauce when I cook it so it gets thicker. Ingredients:
4 pork chops |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 teaspoon vegetable oil |
2 tablespoons white vinegar |
3/4 cup orange juice |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 (8 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained |
Directions:
1. Season pork chops with salt and pepper.
2. Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
3. Add pork chops and saute until golden brown on both sides.
4. Stir together vinegar, orange juice, brown sugar and ginger.
5. Pour over pork chops in skillet.
6. Turn up heat and boil liquid for about 2 minutes or until about half the liquid is left in the pan.
7. Remove from heat and remove chops from skillet.
8. Add mandarin oranges to the sauce.
9. Spoon sauce over pork chops before serving.
