    Hi...
    We had this a few nights ago for dinner and it was delicious! My hubby never knows what might be on the plate in front of him, but he always looks forward to it! This was a very colorful dinner...with the BLUEberries and the ORANGE color of the sweet potatoes. .... and I served it with a GREEN salad!
    Enjoy!

    Pork Chops with Blueberry Sauce

    Sauté pork chops in oil in large sauté pan over medium high heat for 2 minutes
    per side. Transfer chops to a plate and keep warm; return pan to burner. Add
    shallot and sauté 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Deglaze with wine and simmer
    until nearly evaporated. Stir in blueberries, broth, vinegar, and brown sugar;
    bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer until blueberries begin to
    burst and sauce thickens. 2 to 3 minutes. Off heat, stir in butter and season

    follows), on each plate. spoon some sauce over the potatoes then top with pork
    chops. Garnish with parsley and lemons.
