My grandmother would often make these when we came to visit. She shared this recipe with me when I got married so that my husband and I could learn to make it together.

• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon of orange zest
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 cup orange sections

Tools

• Large skillet
• Mixing bowl
• Mixing spoon
• Measuring cup
• Measuring spoons

Method

1. Mix flour and salt together in a small bowl.
2. Wipe pork chops with a damp paper towel and then coat with flour and salt mixture.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet and then brown each side. 3-4 minutes per side.
4. Combine remaining ingredients expect the orange sections.
5. Reduce heat and pour mixture over pork chops. Simmer 45 minutes until tender.

Tips
