Easy Pork Chop Saute with Cranberries

Cranberries can be momentary pleasures, just around for late autumn-that is, unless you think to stock ahead. Buy a packet or two for the freezer so you can make this quick supper all year long. (Or out of season, look for frozen whole cranberries in the freezer case of your local market.)
