Plantation Pork Chops
4 loin pork chops, about 1 1/2 inches thick 1 1/2 cups of dry cornbread stuffing 2 tablespoons of margarine or butter, melted 1/3 cup of orange juice 1 tablespoon of finely chopped pecans 1/4 cup of light corn syrup 1/2 teaspoon of freshly grated orange peel 1/4 teaspoon of salt 1/8 teaspoon of pepper 1 tablespoon of cornstarch 1 tablespoon of water
Have your butcher cut a pocket in each pork chop or use a sharp knife to cut a horizontal slit in the side of each chop, forming a pocket for stuffing. Combine stuffing, margarine or butter, orange juice and pecans. Fill pockets with stuffing. Place a metal rack in a slow cooker. Place chops on rack. In a small bowl, combine corn syrup, orange peel, salt and pepper. Brush mixture over pork chops. Cover and cook on LOW about 6 hours. Turn control to HIGH. Remove chops and rack from cooker and keep chops warm. Dissolve cornstarch in water in a small bowl, stir into liquid in cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH 15 to 20 minutes. Spoon sauce over cooked chops. Makes 4 servings |
