Stuffed Pork Chop Recipe with Chard, Cherries and Plum Balsamic Glaze

Don’t be scared of the long ingredient list or the multiple steps, as everything is pretty easy. Brining the pork chop, even if it’s for an hour, makes it more tender and juicy. It’s an easy step that most people will want to skip but I highly recommend it, as you can use the time it brines to prep the other ingredients. If fresh plums aren’t available or out of season, you can always use fresh or frozen cherries or blueberries or even cranberries. I used dried cherries in the stuffing, but feel to use dried blueberries, golden raisins or dried cranberries instead if that’s what you have on hand.
