Method (preview)

1. 1

   Soak apricots in brandy and water for 1/2 hour. Drain, reserving liquid, and chop apricots finely. Place together in a large bowl.

2. 2

   Saute onions in butter until tender. Add to apricots and reserved liquid; set aside to cool slightly.

3. 3

   Add remaining stuffing ingredients (except the bread stuffing crumbs) in order given. Mix well to break up the eggs.

4. 4

   Add bread crumbs and mix well. Refrigerate stuffing while preparing pork.

5. 5

   Make a pocket in the meat by slicing horizontally toward the bone halfway up the thickness of the chop.

6. 6

   Stuff each chop with about 1/3 cup of the prepared stuffing, then sear both sides of the chop in a skillet with the vegetable oil in it.

7. 7

   Arrange the chops in a baking pan, cover, and bake for 35-40 minutes in a 350 degree oven. (when pork tests 160 internally, it is done)

8. 8

   Heat brandy in a small saucepan until hot but not boiling.

9. 9

   Pour hot brandy into the hot baking pan with the meat, then touch with a lighted match.

10. 10

    The brandy will flame up, and at this point you can carry the meat dish to the table and place it on a heavy trivet.
