• 5. To the remaining half of cranberry/orange mix, add balsamic vinegar and stir until blended.
• 6. Arrange pork chops in hot skillet and sear just until browned then flip over and sear other side (about 2 min per side). **NOTE** This stuff splatters so be careful not to get burned!

• 8. Place on middle rack of preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
• 9. At the very end of baking time, switch oven to broil to "caramelize" cranberry glaze. Watch it closely... this only takes a minute or so.
