Ingredients
- 2 pork chops, about 6 oz each
- 1/2 cup gooseberries
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- water
- salt and pepper 
 
Tart gooseberries pair especially well with pork. This recipe uses fresh gooseberries; if using
canned, taste for sweetness before adding sugar. May be doubled or tripled.
 
Directions
  • Remove stems and tails from gooseberries.
  • Salt and pepper the chops and pan-broil.
    (To pan broil: heat a heavy skillet, lightly filmed with oil, until hot. Cook chops to
    desired doneness, about 3 - 4 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Don't overcook or they will
    be dry and tasteless.)
  • Remove chops to a warm plate and cover loosely, leaving browned bits
    and about 1 tablespoon fat in pan. If there's less than 1 tablespoon fat, add a little butter or

oil.
  • Add gooseberries to pan and cook about 2 minutes to soften. Add sugar, soy sauce and
    about 1/2 cup water. Mash most of the gooseberries into the sauce and cook to desired thickness--about
    5 minutes total cooking time.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste, and additional sugar if needed--but
    sauce should be tart, not sweet. Spoon over chops and serve.
