I'm looking for a healthy sauce to top some pork chops with (I'd like to branch out from apple sauce or BBQ sauce). Any suggestions?

    This is a great tangy & sweet sauce that is virtually fat free and goes perfectly with pork chops or tenderloin:
    Balsamic Cranberry Sauce

    1/2 cup chopped onion, sautee in a pan until softened. Then add

    1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
    1/2 cup fat free chicken broth
    1/3 cup canned whole berry cranberry sauce
    1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (I usually add extra balsamic, love it!)

    Whish together until well mixed and cranberry sauce has melted. Let bubble for about 6 minutes until mixture thickens.
    Add salt and pepper to taste!

    I usually start with olive oil and garlic when cooking the chops, use whatever spices you like on the pork chops I like cumin and some brown sugar with salt and pepper. Sautee the chops, when they're done, remove them and add some low sodium chicken broth and some white wine and a little margarine to the pan, reduce it down, be sure to release the brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon when the sauce is reducing. Simple and easy, you can replace the wine with lemon juice or vinegar if you don't want to use alcohol.
