How to Make Easy Cranberry Glazed Pork Chops
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat 4 (1-inch thick) pork chops dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with 2 cloves minced garlic. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side.
- Pour in 1 cup apple juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Transfer skillet to preheated oven and bake, covered, for 45-60 minutes, or until pork chops are cooked through and fork-tender. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- While pork chops are baking, prepare the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (12-ounce) jar cranberry sauce, 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 2 tablespoons of the pan juices (reserved after removing the pork chops).
- Remove pork chops from oven. Transfer chops to a broiler pan.
- Pour cranberry glaze over pork chops.
- Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until glaze is bubbly and slightly caramelized. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately with extra glaze, rice, and your favorite vegetables.
