Ingredients

2 tablespoons thinly sliced navel or blood orange zest (from 1/2 orange)

2 to 3 navel or blood oranges (peel and pith removed), quartered lengthwise, thinly sliced, and seeded (2 cups)

1/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup dried cherries

1 shallot, minced

1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar

4 bone-in pork rib chops

Coarse salt and ground pepper

Preparation

In a medium saucepan, combine orange zest and slices, sugar, dried cherries, shallot, salt, and 2 tablespoons water; bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until oranges collapse and liquid is syrupy, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in red-wine vinegar.

Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Sear in a pan until opaque throughout, and top with orange chutney.
