Braised Pork Chops with Cherries

Cherries have a short season, heralding the start of summer. They pair well with duck or pork in savory dishes, bringing out the natural sweetness of the meat. A cherry pitter will make short work of the stones. When fresh cherries aren’t in season, use dried cherries.
