Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Generously grease a 9x9 inch glass baking dish.
In a bowl, mix cranberries, marmalade, and cloves. Make a pocket in each pork chop by cutting into pork toward the bone; fill pockets with cranberry mixture.
Place the pork chops in prepared baking pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon 1 tablespoon honey over each chop.
Bake uncovered about 45 minutes or until pork is no longer pink in the center.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling
Pork Chops works really well with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Riesling. Chardonnay suits simple chops or chops in a butter or cream sauce, dry riesling complements sweet additions like honey mustard or apples, and pinot noir is a safe bet for pork dishes in general.
Our 2018 Chardonnay is sourced from vineyards in Carneros and Oak Knoll. Fermented in stainless steel, then aged three months on the lees in neutral French oak, the wine shows great acidity, weight and mouth-feel. This 100% Chardonnay shows acidity normally reserved for stainless only wines. This is a beautifully balanced Chardonnay.
