My Dark Days Challenge meal #12 was another simple meal that anyone could make: glazed pork chops and corn.

I pan-seared the pork chops, then baked them in the oven, smothered with strawberry peach jam.

HT to the can jam, open jars, and use it or lose it folks for the idea of using our preserved goodies on something other than toast.

Food sources:

• Pork chops from Rowland Farm
• Strawberry peach jam from Daffodil Hill Growers
• Corn—my own niblets from the freezer from Sport Hill Farm
• Butter from Ronnybrook

Quick, easy, very good. Not all local meals from scratch need to take several hours!

Other challengers…

I’m excited to see that these folks are still keeping up with the Dark Days challenge—go check them out and cheer them on!
