My family enjoys sweet potatoes. A friend gave me this recipe a few years ago and I've made it often. It's a perfect fall meal. Ingredients:
6 pork loin chops (5 ounces each) |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 cup orange juice |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1/4 teaspoon ground mace |
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
2 large sweet potatoes (1-1/4 pounds) |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1 tablespoon water |
Directions:
1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown pork chops in oil. Place in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. In a saucepan, combine orange juice, brown sugar, mace, ginger, salt if desired and pepper; bring to a boil. pour over chops. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Peel potatoes; cut into 1/3-in. slices. Brush with butter. Turn chops. Cover with potatoes; baste with pan juices. Cover and bake 40 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender. Remove chops and potatoes to a serving platter; cover and keep warm. Dissolve cornstarch in water; stir into pan juices. Bring to a boil; boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour over pork chops and potatoes. Yield: 6 servings.
