Description
This is one of my favorite ways to eat pork. Pork chops are crusted in pecans and breadcrumbs, then topped with a delicious homemade pumpkin butter. (You can always use store bought pumpkin butter if you can find it but homemade is always better).
Ingredients
- 1 (14 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- ¾ cup apple juice
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 pinch ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup pecans
- ¾ cup bread crumbs
- 4 (1/2 inch thick) boneless pork chops
- ¼ cup oil for frying
Instructions
- Whisk together pumpkin puree
- apple juice
- sugar
- cloves
- ginger
- and cinnamon in a saucepan until smooth. Bring to a boil
- then reduce heat to medium-low
- and simmer until the mixture has reached the consistency of applesauce. About 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile
- pulse pecans and bread crumbs in a food processor until the pecans are finely chopped. Pour into a shallow dish
- and press pork chops into the mixture to coat.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add breaded pork chops and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through
- about 4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve the pork chops with a dollop of pumpkin butter.
