For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in pork chops. If you don't have an ovenproof skillet, you can transfer the pork chops and sauce to a baking dish before baking. The cranberry sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving. Adjust the amount of brown sugar in the filling and sauce to your preference. Serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepTo prepare the cranberry filling: Soak 1 cup dried cranberries in 2 cups boiling water for 20 minutes. (Time: 20 minutes)
02
StepDrain the cranberries, reserving 1/4 cup of the soaking water. Place the cranberries, reserved water, 2 tablespoons pine nuts, cinnamon, cloves, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar in a food processor. (Time: 5 minutes)
03
StepProcess until finely chopped; set aside.
04
StepBring the chicken stock to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer until the chicken stock has reduced to half its original volume. (Time: 15 minutes)
05
StepAdd the white wine, red wine, cranberry juice, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Continue cooking until the sauce has reduced by half again. (Time: 10 minutes)
06
StepKeep warm.
07
StepPreheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
08
StepCut a pocket into the side of each pork chop, about 3/4 of the way through. Stuff each pork chop with the dried cranberry mixture, then season on all sides with salt and pepper to taste.
09
StepHeat the olive oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. Cook the pork chops on one side until golden brown. (Time: 3-4 minutes)
10
StepTurn the pork chops over, and cook another few minutes until browned on the other side too. (Time: 2-3 minutes)
11
StepPour 1 cup of the sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Place the skillet in the preheated oven, and bake until the pork is no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). (Time: 8-10 minutes)
12
StepTo serve, place each pork chop onto a warmed dinner plate, and spoon the sauce from the skillet over top. Sprinkle the pork chops with 2 tablespoons dried cranberries and 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts for decoration. Serve with the remaining cranberry sauce.
