Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Drain the sauerkraut, rinse well under cold running water, and squeeze dry with your hands. In a mixig bowl, combine the sauerkraut, fruit puree, and caraway seeds; season to taste with salt and pepper.

Heat the oil in a medium-size oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the pork chops and saute until somewhat browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the chops to a dinner plate.

Off the heat, stir the sauerkraut mixture into the pan juices in the skillet. When this is well mixed, place the seared pork chops on top and place the skillet in the oven. Bake uncovered until the pork is cooked through, about 30 minutes.

Comments: This is a wonderful and quick winter dish that tastes terrific with baked potatoes, acorn squash, or sweet potatoes.
