"Tasty pork chops with a simple bread and celery stuffing, and a sweet and sour orange marmalade sauce. The original recipe, from McCall’s Greatest Recipe Card Collection, called for 4 rib chops cut 1-1/2” thick (2 lbs. total) with a pocket. Instead of the rib chops I use boneless pork chops, place stuffing between two of them, then tie them together with kitchen string. Then I adjust the cooking time according to the thickness of the chops. You can adjust the seasonings to suit your taste too. The stuffing is also good with chicken breasts. Serve with a green veggie or salad and baked potatoes for dinner. Note: Edited to remove some of the salt and reduce the sweetness of this recipe."

Reviews

Stuffing was too salty, even though I used a bit less of the required salt, and ommitted the seasoning salt altogether. I used less marmalade than the glaze called for as well, but pork chops were incrediably way too sweet. Suggest perhaps using less marmalade or ommitting that and making an alternitive glaze using ripe oranges which will be milder giving just a him of orange not an overwhelming taste of marmalade and sugar.

My favorite thing to do is to spend time with family and friends, especially my two grandsons. Cooking, collecting recipe books and tried and true recipes from family and friends, and all the wonderful cooks here at food.com, is what I enjoy too. My favorite sayings are:  Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, and Today is a gift; that is why it is called the 'present'. <img title=Smile src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif border=0 alt=Smile />  and  Remember yesterday, dream about tomorrow, but live for today. <img title=Smile src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif border=0 alt=Smile />  My favorite poem is: Common Things The things I prize of greatest worth, Are just the common things of earth; the rain, the sun, the grass, the trees; The flowers, the birds, the glorious breeze; Clouds that pass, and stars that shine, Mountains, valleys, all are mine; Rivers broad, and open sea Are riches none can take from me. Our God is here on every hand, Upon the sea, upon the land! And day by day my thanks I give That with these common things I live. ....Praying Hands My pet peeve is people who spit gum on the sidewalk even if there is a trash bin a few feet away!! I have stepped in 'fresh' gum a couple of times!!  <img src=http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg alt=/ /> <img src=http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/Other/tagforpage1.jpg alt=/ />
