20-Minute Pork Chops in Fig Cabernet Sauce make fine-dining, everyday!

The holiday season is really busy. I love it, but it’s really busy. You need a great tasting meal that comes together fast, but doesn’t break the bank… right? That’s where this Pork Chops in Fig Cabernet Sauce recipe comes in. It combines simple low-cost bone-in pork chops and the short cut of using a prepared jelly to whip up a truly awesome dinner in less than 20 minutes!

Pork-Chops-in-Fig-Cabernet-Sauce_5rr Have I mentioned before how much I love PC Black Label products. I use them all the time, that’s right, I use them all the time. Everybody needs a short-cut now and then and these products do the trick. Made with really unique ingredients and taste combinations, it’s a great way to experiment with new ingredients as they come into stores and are trendy.


PC Black Label Products When I saw this PC Black Label Fig Cabernet Wine Jelly, OMG, I had to give it a try. At first, I added it to my charcuterie platter for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit. Paired with warm brie on toasted crostini with a drizzle of honey… prepare to have your mind blown…

When I was approached to create a recipe for Ontario Pork combining bone-in pork chops with a PC product, this PC Black Label Fig Cabernet Wine Jelly immediately came to mind. I knew the slightly sweet and rich wine flavour it would add to a sauce would be unforgettable. I may be a genius…

Pork Chops in Fig Cabernet Sauce_4 Now back to the 20-minute thing, how great is that? How often can you find a recipe that delivers flavour that is off-the-charts, while being able to claim a 20-minute start to finish time? Not too often. The shortcut of starting with PC Black Label Fig Cabernet Wine Jelly is the key to success. It’s powerful mix of saturated flavour gives this sauce a sweet and tangy yumminess.

Serve these Pork Chops in Fig Cabernet Sauce with some steamed veggies or try a delicious grain blend – Barley, Spinach & Fig Bowl. It’s a wonderful mix of PC Black Label Barley Blend, mushrooms, spinach, and dried figs that I love, love love. Perfect as a side dish, salad or paired with tender pork chops in this delicious sauce. Enjoy!

      Hi James, I try to put in the nutritional chart when ever I can. In this case I am using a prepared sauce in the recipe so it is impossible to get a nutritional chart.
