CRANBERRY GLAZED PORK ROAST
Meet the Cook: Many pork recipes were too spicy for me, so I decided to try this sweeter alternative. That was 18 years ago, and it became a family favorite. It tastes great the day after in a cold sandwich, too. Today, our two daughters make this roast often. We also have eight grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren. -Madeline Strauss, Clinton Township, Michigan

Steps:
- Sprinkle the chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Peel the orange and cut it crosswise into 4 slices of equal thickness. Cut each slice into 8 equal-size pieces. Put the cranberries and orange pieces into the container of a food processor or electric blender and blend well but coarsely. There should be about 1 1/2 cups.
- Dredge the chops on both sides in flour and shake off excess.
- Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the chops in one layer. When the oil is quite hot add the chops and cook until nicely brown on one side, about 8 minutes. Turn the chops and cook until browned on the other side, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat. Cover and simmer 12 minutes.
- Transfer the chops to a warm serving platter and pour off the fat from the skillet.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to the skillet and when it is melted add the onion. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the brown sugar and stir to dissolve. Add the vinegar and tomato paste and stir until blended. Add the cranberry and orange mixture and the broth. Stir to blend. Add any liquid that has accumulated around the chops. Let simmer about 1 minute. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Pour the sauce over the chops and sprinkle with parsley.
