PECAN-CRUSTED PORK WITH PUMPKIN BUTTER
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).

Steps:
- 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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- For pumpkin filling, combine eggs, evaporated milk, and pumpkin in a medium mixing bowl. Add 3/4 cup granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. With rotary beater or wire whisk, beat lightly just until combined; set aside.
- For cobbler, pour butter into a 3-quart rectangular baking dish (I just used a 9x13 glass pan), tilting dish to spread butter evenly. Combine 1 cup flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, 1 cup milk, vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small mixing bowl. Pour mixture over melted butter to make crust.
- Spoon or slowly pour pumpkin filling mixture evenly over crust. Combine pecan crunch ingredients and sprinkle on top.
- Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Serve warm. Drizzle a little caramel sauce on top, if desired.
