Direcciones
- To prepare the brine: Combine the apple cider and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Add in the kosher salt, brown sugar, pepper, sage and cinnamon, stirring to dissolve. Cold the brine; chill till cool.
- Put the chops into a 2 1/2- to 3-qt glass dish. Pour the cool brine over the chops, cover with plastic wrap, and chill at least 12 hrs and up to 24 hrs.
- Begin to prepare the sauce. Soak the dry berries in the brandy for 30 min. Drain, reserving the fruit and brandy separately.
- Remove the chops from the brine; throw away brine. Pat dry with paper towels. Heat the oil in a large 10- to 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the pan is warm, add in the pork chops and cook about 5 min per side or possibly till cooked through. Remove the chops from the pan and keep hot. Pour off any fat in the pan.
- Put the pan back on medium-high heat. Deglaze with the reserved brandy, cooking till
- reduced by about half. Add in the broth, cider and cranberries. Cook till reduced by half. Turn the heat to medium-low. Put the arrowroot into a measuring c. and whisk in the half-and-half and mustard. Stir several spoonfuls of the warm broth mix, one at a time, into the half-and-half to hot. Add in to the pan, stirring till lightly thickened.
- Spoon the sauce over the chops and serve.
- Serves 4.
