Golden Plum, Port, and Mushroom Pork Chops & Giveaway

You know Bonne Maman, don’t you? Those gorgeous preserves, jams, and jellies with that signature red gingham lid – known for their excellent quality and superior taste.

I first tasted Bonne Maman in their home country – that’s right – on a trip to Paris. But since then, if I’m not making my own jam, I’m stocking the shelves with Bonne Maman. A little taste of Europe in our kitchen, something that pleases both the Brit and me.

I’m a huge fan of Bonne Maman’s Raspberry Preserves, while James pretty much lives for the Black Currant Jelly on his crumpets.

But Bonne Maman has a new star of the show, straight from the Lorraine region of France: Golden Plum Mirabelle Preserves. Sultry and succulent, these golden and gorgeous plums make one (pardon my French) Hell of a jam.

I don’t know about you, but my palate simply lives for sweet and savory combinations. Combining Golden Plum Mirabelle preserves with the earthiness of baby portobello mushrooms, port wine, garlic scapes, and savory beef stock creates a finishing sauce that you won’t soon forget. I stuffed the pork chops with the same flavors that go into the sauce, but the sauce adds the sweetness of the plum preserves and port, and simply thrills the taste buds.

I imagine this being a fabulous fancy dinner that could easily serve as an alternative to the traditional Christmas ham or to be served by candlelight for a celebratory New Year’s Eve dinner.

Before we get to the recipe, how about a little love from the folks at Bonne Maman?
