INGREDIENTS

6 rib pork chops, cut 1-1/2 inches thick, each with a pocket

SAVORY STUFFING

1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 cups soft bread cubes
1/2 cup dark raisins
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves
1/4 cup apple juice

1/2 teaspoon salt
Apple juice
Glazed Apple Rings, (see recipe)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wipe pork chops well with damp paper towels.

Make Savory Stuffing - In hot butter in skillet, cook onion and celery until tender - about 5 minutes. Add bread cubes and brown slightly. Remove from heat.

Add raisins, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, the pepper, marjoram and 1/4 cup apple juice; toss mixture lightly to combine.

Fill pockets in chops with stuffing. Stand chops on rib bones in a shallow roasting pan; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pour apple juice to 1/4-inch depth in roasting pan. Cover chops and pan with foil.

Bake chops 45 minutes. Remove foil; bake, uncovered, 45 to 55 minutes longer, or until chops are tender and brown. Garnish with Glazed Apple Rings.
