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 in- : teresting 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.
