Ingredients
- 2 tart green apples, such as Granny Smith ( 3/4 pound), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons raisins, or dried currants
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, or white-wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- 4 pork loin chops, each about 1/2 inch thick (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper
Directions
-
Make the relish: In a medium saucepan, combine the apples, sugar, raisins, vinegar, ginger, and cayenne over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat; simmer, partially covered, until apples are soft, 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Make the pork chops: Season chops with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops, and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve with apple-raisin relish.
Cook's Note
Try the tart-sweet relish with other cuts of pork, such as roasts, tenderloin, or ham.

I would love to see the nutritional information.
Not bad but the relish was dull. Adding salt and lime made it a lot better!
my family loved it......i didn't put quite that much sugar in it.
Follow the recipe exactly and it came out delicious. I served this with a side of Israeli couscous
I made this again one year later and it's still good. I cooked the pork chops in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. It was done in a little over 3 minutes per side.
Made this and it's simple and delicious. My husband loved the apple relish. This is now a favorite in our home!
Great tasting, and simple and easy to prepare. I give it 5 stars!
