Pork Chops With Fruit Stuffing

• Rib pork chops
• 4 slices of cinnamon bread
• 1 cup dried apricots
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1 cup granny smith apples
• 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/4 cup apple juice concentrate
• 4-tbsp. butter melted
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1 tsp. lemon zest

1. Place pork chops on a flat surface, then put in the freezer for 45 minutes or until partially frozen. Partially freezing the meat will make it easier to cut the slit in the chops
2. Cut bread into 1/4 inch dice. Cut apricots and apples into 1/8 inch dice. Combine bread and fruit, add the apple concentrate and remaining ingredients mix well, adjust moisture content with orange juice as needed.
3. Remove pork chops from freezer and starting from the round end cut a slit in the chops to the bone. Fill with the fruit stuffing.
4. Place the chops in a oven proof pan (preferably non-stick) and brown on both sides (about 5 minutes) place in a 350 degree oven and finish cooking for approximately 30 minutes.
5. The stuffing mix will fill six to eight chops and may be frozen for months.
