\n- In one quart of water, dissolve 1\/4 cup of kosher salt. Place pork chops in a gallon sized ziplock bag and pour in the brine. Let sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours.<\/li>\n
- Preheat oven to 350\u00ba. Rinse the pork chops and dry with paper towels.<\/li>\n
- Heat the butter in a saut\u00e9 pan until hot, browning the pork chops on both sides. Remove from pan, and season with salt and pepper.<\/li>\n
- Spoon a third of the cranberries in the bottom of a small baking dish that will hold the pork chops in two layers. Sprinkle 1\/4 cup of sugar over the cranberries, and lay two pork chops side by side on top on the cranberries. Cover pork chops with half of the remaining cranberries and 1\/4 cup of sugar. Top with the two remaining pork chops, the rest of the cranberries and sugar.<\/li>\n
- Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the cranberries, then cover tightly with foil. Bake for one hour, spoon cranberry sauce over the pork chops and serve.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
