In a mini-processor process the fruit with the nuts, butter, fennel and half the shallot until finely chopped. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a small sealable plastic bag or pastry bag. Snip about a 1/2-inch opening in the corner of the plastic bag. With a small paring knife, make a pocket starting from rounded side of each chop. Set the tip of the bag inside the pocket and press a quarter of the stuffing into the chop. Repeat with the remaining chops and filling. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

STUFFED PORK CHOPS I
I got this recipe from a friend and it is awesome! When I want comfort food, this is the one that I turn to. My husband loves it too! We love the stuffing so much I usually double the recipe for the bread crumb mixture, leave everything else the same. For the bread cubes, French bread works best, not sourdough.

PORK CHOPS WITH STUFFING
This was my mother's original recipe, but through the years I've changed is slightly. Now my four daughters enjoy making this family favorite. Before we retired, we raised hogs on a farm in Pennsylvania. I cooked a pork dish at least once a week then, and I still do today.

BISCUIT STUFFING PORK CHOPS
This is from a Pillsbury cookbook of Bake-Off Favorites. It was a 1971 finalist. I have often reduced the recipe to 2 or 3 pork chops (and kept the "stuffing" amount the same). I found that butermilk-type biscuits work better than the layer-type. Also, most cream soups (mushroom or celery) can be subbed for the cream of chicken. This is hearty main dish that can paired with a vegetable side and fresh fruit for a complete meal.***Editted to add that I have tried the recipe using boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of the pork chops. Yum!! I did add a bit of chicken broth to the soup mixture prior to pouring it over the chicken, though. I thought that the chicken wouldn't release as much liquid as the chops did. It was a great meal.
