Recipe Summary Pecan-Crusted Pork With Pumpkin Butter

This is one of my favorite ways to eat pork. Pork chops are crusted in pecans and breadcrumbs, then topped with a delicious homemade pumpkin butter. (You can always use store bought pumpkin butter if you can find it but homemade is always better).

Ingredients | Pork Chop Recipes Pan Fried Brown Sugar

1 (14 ounce) can pumpkin puree

¾ cup apple juice

¾ cup sugar

1 pinch ground cloves

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup pecans

¾ cup bread crumbs

4 (1/2 inch thick) boneless pork chops

¼ cup oil for frying

Directions

Whisk together pumpkin puree, apple juice, sugar, cloves, ginger, and cinnamon in a saucepan until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the mixture has reached the consistency of applesauce. About 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, pulse pecans and bread crumbs in a food processor until the pecans are finely chopped. Pour into a shallow dish, and press pork chops into the mixture to coat.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add breaded pork chops and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve the pork chops with a dollop of pumpkin butter.

If desired, reduce the sweetness of the pumpkin butter by using just ¼ cup of apple juice mixed with ½ cup water.
