Pork-u-Pear

Ever get tired of pork with some kind of apple treatment?  I chose pears just to try and make life that much more exciting.

What you need
  • pork
  • pear
  • sage
  • salt and pepper
Pork, pork, pork.  Pork chop, Sliced pork loin, Sliced pork shoulder.  Pick one or two.
Rub with salt and pepper
Put in an oven proof dish
Put some finely sliced sage on top (or use dried)
Slice some pear and put on top of the pork
Bake for 1/2 hour at 350 (longer if they're thicker)
With the remaining pear bits (or chop up another pear - go ahead be brave)
Put it in a bowl with some water, lemon juice and sugar and nuke for a few minutes
Mash it up and you have some pear sauce to accompany your pork

When I first made this I covered the pork/pear with molasses.  You can to if you want.
I've also smeared some dijon on the pork before putting the pears on it.  You could do that too if you want.
