Pan-Seared Pork Chops with Dried Fruit
I was cleaning out the pantry and found 6 bags of dried fruit that hubby had horded away. He loves dried fruit, but buys these gigantic bags, then gets tired of it and stuffs it on the back of a shelf! I made this recipe up to use some of that fruit...
Pan-Seared Pork Chops with Dried Fruit
