Pork Chops, With...

      Pork chops, about ten cherries, an apple, fennel bulb, parsnip, celery, carrot, red onion, red and yellow peppers, purple and white potatoes.  It got fresh mushrooms after this...

     Started with two pork chops and a quarter-cup or less of soy sauce-balsamic vinegar marinade that had garlic, ginger, ground cloves, black pepper, za'atar and parsley.  The meat, apples and cherries got two and a half hours over low heat; everything else was added after it had an hour or a bit more except for the mushrooms, which went with a half-hour left.  Tender, moist pork, lovely broth, tasty vegetables.
