Cherry preserves for cooking a dinner? Yes, it’s true. The tart flavor of the cherry paired with a red wine transform the pork fat into a very flavorful sauce that you will enjoy on the pork or over rice or even in potatoes.

Preparation:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add pork slices; cook 2 minutes on each side. Remove pork from pan; keep warm. If using bone-in pork chops, remove the bone to use later for broth.

Add wine, salt, and pepper; cook 2 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates, scraping pan to loosen browned bits.
