  • Heidi - look at this recipe with blackberries!

    You can try this with your blackberries!

    This is a recipe changing posted a few weeks ago. I thought of you and your berries.

    Blackberry Braised Pork Chops
    *Just a note:

    (I didn't measure any of this out when I made this tonight, so these measurements are all guesses--also, I made a batch about twice this big for a bunch of family so I had to adjust these measures in my head. I know many people like to limit basalmic vinegar on Atkins, especially induction, but this is such a small amount and adds a lot to the flavor--and this obviously an OWL dish due to the berries. Please feel free to adjust them as I'm sure many ratios would work just as well.)


    Ingredients

    1.5 to 2 pounds of pork chops
    1 cup of fresh blackberries
    2 cups dry cooking sherry
    2 tbsp butter
    1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
    1 packet splenda (optional)

    Place blackberries in a bowl. Mash with a fork but make sure the mixture is still chunky and looks like berries (do not puree).
    Pour sherry in a frying pan.
    Add blackberries.
    Add butter and melt it into the mixture over medium heat until it's completely mixed in.
    Add basalmic vinegar and splenda, if using.
    Continue to reduce mixture over medium heat until the liquid is no longer runny but not to the point where it becomes syrupy.
    Put pork chops in pan, reduce heat to low simmer, and cover.
    Check pork chops occasionally. When they are cooked through, remove from heat and serve. Ladle some blackberry/wine mixture over the pork chop when serving.

    (Serves 2-4, depending on appetite and complementary side dishes)

                        LOL! The recipe was an approximation of what I THINK my husband and I did when we cooked them. We had seen the words "Blackberry Braised Pork Chops" and a brief description on a menu at a restaurant and thought it sounded delicious, but ended up ordering something else... then we had to do a fancy dinner to cook for the inlaws and decided to wing it off of the vague idea we got from the menu write-up.


                        Soo... how did you like it, Heidi? I'm dying to know what you think of my creation...
                        No stats. Not weighing anymore ever. Will post "before and after" pictures when I want to. The end.

                        Vigilance, not perfection.

                          Hey little girl it was an awesome recipe!!! thank you so much!!!...My old man loved it so much he just kept with the "wow this is fantastic" and "you have done it again Heidi" the berries and pork are perfect together ...I did not have chops so I used a loin and I was lazy so I put it in the Dutch oven ..and added some onions and garlic ...but that is it


                          put olive oil onions and garlic in a dutch oven then the loin I roasted it for about 25 min at about 450 degrees. Then I took the loin out put the Dutch oven on the stove and tossed in the Sherry (I used regular sherry instead of cooking sherry) balsamic and blackberries cooked it down with the pan juices sliced the loin ..poured the sauce over it and ..it was wonderful!!!! and very easy thank you so much!

                            Sounds great. When I move up to the berry rung I'll try it. Raspberries and blackberries are my absolute favorites, being just a little notch above peaches. I really miss fruit, but I'm not ready to move up yet. I'll get there though.
