Low Salt Maple Apple Pork Chops For 2
I didn't realize that others would have the same problem I have...low salt cooking for two. All the cookbooks I have on this topic rely on making a dish and freezing left overs. So, I thought I'd post a few of the ones I have. Hope it helps others.
Maple Apple Pork Chops
1 Tbs Butter or oil, butter makes it taste better 0mg sodium
2 Apples, peeled and chopped into bite size pieces 2mg sodium - I used Gala, or whatever I have on hand, as long it isn't an apple for applesauce
2 Tbs chopped walnuts 0mg Sodium
2 Pork chops 3.5 oz = 46mg sodium
1/4 cup real maple syrup
Cook pork chops in a pan on stove top. If they get done before the apple/walnut mixture is done, keep warm.
Melt butter into pan over medium heat.
Add apple and cook for about 10 minutes.
Add walnuts and maple syrup and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
Pour over pork and serve.
I like to keep the apple/walnute mixture warm until serving time. Then bring the mixture to a boil and cook down to a thick syrup being careful not to burn it. Add water if it gets too thick.
This is good over cooked squash like butternut squash. I can buy bags of it at the store peeled and pre-cut.

my hubby cannot tolerate salt. I use Pacific Rim broth (3%) sodium, Aunt Nellies has a low salt red cabbage but they have high salt right next to it! I read every label. The pasta from Italy has no added salt same with the sauce. I find it at Big Lots often or Tuesday Mornings. I don't think most people realize that soup has 45% sodium in every cup! I only use products under 9% and often skimp on those!! Mostly I make things from scratch and use lots of other spices. Penzeys has no salt seasonings!

This is a website that has sodium free foods. The products are half the price that I pay at my local market. Shipping is low too. I've ordered a ton of sodium free foods from they yesterday. They have sodium free baking powder and baking soda too.
