A taste of Fall

I was cooking for one tonight so I could play with my food some :)

In a well seasoned 6"cast iron fry pan I tossed 1/2 an apple sliced, a palmful of raisins and a palmful of craisins. I heated the pan and then added a salted & peppered pork chop. After it was browned I added some gf chicken broth and let it simmer.

In another small pan I boiled salted water and added thinly sliced cabbage only cooking it until it started to wilt & change color. Then I blanched it in cold water, added a little bit of butter and a lot of pepper. Back to burner #1 - I added broth as needed to keep the pan from drying out but not much. Once the chop was cooked I put it on top of the stewed cabbage and used a touch of broth to de-glaze the pan and make a sauce. I had a serving spoon of white rice from last night that I mixed with the de-glaze sauce and heated. Nummy I like my meat cooked with fruit and the only thing that would have made it better would be fall spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger), I'll add them next time!
