Pomegranate Pork Chops

If you’re a fan of pork chops, this recipe with the delicious, ruby jeweled pomegranate sauce will definitely be on your meal rotation. The sauce is easy to make and you’ll want to make extra because the sauce is SO versatile!!

This pomegranate sauce is no one-trick pony, that’s for sure!

Ok, Let’s get into it!

How To Make These Pomegranate Pork Chops

Ingredient list:

Pork chops
Salt, Pepper & Thyme
A bit of cooking oil
Pomegranate Honey Sauce

But How Do I De-seed A Pomegranate??

Once you know, you know 🙂 These gorgeous fruits may seem intimidating at first, but once you see them cut open, you’ll realize it’s not complicated. Just remember not to eat any of the bitter white pith!

My pretend boyfriend, Jamie Oliver, has a great one-minute tutorial that shows you exactly how to do it. (Plus includes a great little juiced drink recipe!!)

You can also take the time to peel one if you’d like. Once you peel back the rind and the pith, the clusters of gorgeous juicy capsules make it REALLY hard not to just pop a few into your mouth!

(Which, by the way, I HIGHLY recommend doing!!)

What Kind Of Pork Chop Can I Use For This Fruity Pork Chop Dinner?

Well, I would say that you should use any particular cut of chop you prefer. I actually prefer a rib chop cut, but I didn’t have any on hand when I made this recipe. So, I used what I had, and that was the boneless chop, or in other words a loin chop.

But again, use what you have on hand. Just keep in mind grilling/frying time. The thinner the chop, the quicker it will cook through and pork can dry out fairly easily if overcooked.

What About The Pomegranate Sauce?

Ok, so instead of going over the whole tutorial on how to make this simple sauce, I will refer you to my super easy Pomegranate Honey Sauce recipe. (The recipe is linked above in the ingredient list. It’s SUPER easy and quick to make!)

This is the exact same sauce I used to make my Roasted Parsnips with Pomegranate Honey Sauce. That dish is equally as delicious as these Pomegranate Pork chops!

How Long Will This Pork Loin Chop with Pomegranate Glaze Stay Good In The Fridge For?

If you wanted to hold the pork chops again for another night, I would try to keep them unglazed in an airtight container. They should stay nice for up to 4 days.

Then when you reheat them, heat some of the pomegranate sauce/glaze again and pour it over when serving.

I hope I’ve convinced you to give this recipe a try. If you didn’t want to make your own pomegranate sauce, you can sometimes find a pomegranate glaze in the grocery store in the condiment aisle. But if you can make this sauce fresh, it’s so delicious! Thank you for stopping by The Salty Pot today, and have a fantastic day!
