 Cut any fat from pork chops. Season with salt and pepper. Roll chops in


 bread crumbs seasoned with salt and pepper. Fry chops in hot butter,


 margarine or oil until brown on both sides. Add 1/2 cup of water and cook


 over low heat, covered, 45 to 60 mins., or until tender. Meanwhile, combine


 cherries, sugar, cinnamon, lemon rind and honey and bring to a boil. Lower


 heat and cook 5 mins. Add a little water to thin, if desired. Stir in


 Madeira and remove from stove. Serve over cooked chops.


 


 NOTES: Russians are extremely fond of pork, which they prepare in


 interesting


      variations. On of their great hoiday treats is roast suckling pig


      stuffed with kasha. Other typical pork dishes, such as this one, are


      served with fruit sauces. Plums may be substi- tuted for the cherries,


      if desired.
