Better restaurants now serve pork slightly pink on the inside. Trichinosis is no longer a consideration.
Slowly cook in broth in a covered pan; that should do it without drying them out too much.
Try pork with apples. Cut up apples (cored and peeled) and slightly cook in a saucepan with a little water, sugar and cinnamon. Brown the chops (or loin cuts, etc.) in a (very) little oil in a thick-bottomed pan, then add the cooked apples and cook till almost white (or still a little pink in the center), but no longer as they will harden up. Oh, yes, the pork should have been thawed beforehand.
We often buy fresh pork tenderloin when the price is right, package in meal-sized portions, and freeze.

Dicho, I have always tended towards apples with pork, but a few years ago it struck me that there was another "Fall" kind of flavor that fit with both. Try this recipe which for me is the ultimate way to eat pork roast!

Spaw's Black Walnut Pork Roast

You can use any pork roast you like, but a nice tenderloin is hard to beat. Make up the following "goo"

1 Cup chopped black walnuts 1/4 cup chopped onion 1 Cup Chopped Apples 1/2 Cup Raisins 1 Cup Apple Butter Dash of GROUND Nutmeg, Allspice, Clove. 1 teaspoon salt

Slice the roast lengthwise to create TWO long pockets and pack them full of the "goo." Tie it up as best possible and then cover the entire roast in the remainder of the goo. Use an appropriate pan, add about a 1/2 cup of water, and cover it with foil. Bake at 375 at 30 minutes per pound.

Cool slightly then slice and serve. The residue in the pan and the cutting board scrap can be additionally moistened as necessary and poured over each piece

Black Walnuts, Apples, and Pork were made for each other. A side of sweet potatoes, or acorn or buternut squash, and you'll be thinking you're dining at the Pearly Gates! Sheer Heaven!

On the other hand Murray, if you had any suspicions about those them Pork chops, you could have asked Ben Ladin round to share them.

Personally I prefer my pork slow cooked in cider ( applejack)

Pork is wonderful served with a pepper sauce or on a base of ratatouille. Matthew Edwards -women are only good for housework and cooking-they have no other uses-steer well clear!

Spaw, have copied your receipt and will try. Here in the western Canada prairies, we can only grow crabapples from which we make excellent apple butter (western Canadians don't know what that is; it is not sold in the stores) but most people here just use the trees as ornamentals and let the fruit rot.
Gareth, the only cider available here is pasturized piss that is also very expensive. There is nothing better than fermenting cider for what ails you.

A Bunyip is an imaginary creature of Aboriginal dreamtime legend, said to haunt swamps and billabongs. Although I've never met him it seems as though our American friends have one of their own 'cept they call theirs Spaw.
It was the only thing I could think of, to end my ramblings, that would give the overly serious folk a clue that it was all in my imagination.
Now, a spit-roasted Bunyip, that's another thing -----------

Has Spaw ever been spit-roasted? Perhaps he'd like to tell us about it...
