Yields:: 4 Pork Chops
Serves:: 4

ingredients

²⁄₃ cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, melted
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons dried cranberries
2 medium dark-orange sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch slices
³⁄₄ cup original Bisquick baking mix
¹⁄₄ teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
2 tablespoons soy sauce or 2 tablespoons water
4 boneless pork loin chops, 1/2 inch thick (1 lb)

directions

Heat oven to 350°F In medium bowl, mix marmalade, butter, cinnamon and ginger. Stir in cranberries and sweet potatoes; set aside.
In shallow dish, mix Bisquick mix and red pepper. In another shallow dish, place soy sauce. Dip pork into soy sauce, then coat with Bisquick mixture. Spray 10-inch skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Cook pork in skillet 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until coating is brown.
Place pork in ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish. Arrange sweet potato mixture around pork. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender and pork is no longer pink in center.
High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): In step 2, cook pork 4 to 6 minutes. In step 3, bake 45 to 50 minutes.
Time-Saver.
Looking for a shortcut? Use a 17- or 18-ounce can of vacuum-packed sweet potatoes, cut crosswise in half, for the fresh sweet potatoes.
Substitution.
Use dried cherries or raisins instead of the cranberries.
Success.
Follow cook times for pork carefully. Today's pork is lean and requires shorter cooking times. Overcooking pork will make it tough.

I am a graphic design student from Iowa! I am now a stay at home Mommy to my beautiful daughter, Claire! For fun I like to cook, bake, scrapbook, spend time with my fiance, get crafty, try new things and my favorite, shop! My favorite cookbook I've come along so far is my mom's old church cookbook, although I must admit I am quite the sucker for the Taste of Home magazines at the grocery store. They are my weakness! I love the pretty covers and they always come with such great recipe cards and tips! Some day I will collect them all, hehe. My passions are fashion, photography, art, style, shoes, handbags, cooking, baking, scrapbooking, crafts, and being creative! <a href="http://s272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/alleyolds/?action=view&current=PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/alleyolds/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/alleyolds/?action=view&current=PACSpring09Participation.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/alleyolds/PACSpring09Participation.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <a href="http://s729.photobucket.com/albums/ww296/alleybarbie/?action=view&current=Calendargirls2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i729.photobucket.com/albums/ww296/alleybarbie/Calendargirls2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
