Pork in Grapes is a delicious creamy dish my mum used to make. Pork chops, grapes, onion, cream and stock go to create this yummy dish which is served with rice.
Pork in Grapes is a dish my mum used to make regularly when I was growing up. It then became a regular in my household and then got forgotten about for a few years.
Sometimes it’s nice to give your favourites a rest and then rediscovering them makes them all the more special. When my son’s old school were putting together a cook book (7 years ago), Pork in Grapes is one the recipes I gave them as it was my signature dish at the time!
Do get hold of some good pork chops as this will make all the difference to the flavour, there’s nothing worse than a bland pork chop!
Do you have dishes you’ve made relentlessly and then forgotten about? Do tell me about them in the comments below.

Delicious! A unique and savory way to use grapes!
Camilla
Thanks, it really is, can’t tell you how many times I’ve had this. Really needs a re-shoot!
Amy Fidler
What a great looking dish x
Paul Wilson
Looks lovely.
Sarah Cooper
Love the idea of using grapes in cooking. Must try this!
Camilla
It’s such an old favourite, do hope you try it:-)
Ursula Hunt
i maybe would have said grapes in pork but that is just me , good recipe though
Camilla
If I’d chosen the name I think it would have been Pork in a Grape Sauce but mum has made this dish since I was a teen and it’s always been known as Pork in Grapes:-)
William Gould
I would love this, but my wife hates any kind of sauces, or what she calls “sloppy food”! lol
Paul Wilson
Have to give this a go, it looks delicious.
bev
Never heard of this before – certainly different!
glenn hutton

Tracy Nixon
Unusual but I bet it is lovely!
Isabel Marie Baker
This sounds so tasty,so going to try this 🙂 Thank you
Camilla
So pleased:-)
Marge
This is a new idea on me. I’ve never used grapes in cooking.
I will definitely be giving this lovely recipe a go – My Husband is a big pork lover so he’ll be happy…
Thanks x
Camilla
Great, glad to have spread the grape love:-)
Paul Wilson
Great idea, grapes are commonly available, but much underused in cooking.
Kirsty Fox
My husband would absolutely love this, I’m not a fan of pork, but like you said above it would probably go nicely with chicken too!
Camilla
Yay, do let me know how you get on:-)
Maya Russell
I’ve never heard of this dish or combination. But it must work well.
Annie Costa
Hmmm I’ve tried pork&apple but never grapes..looking forward to tying this!
Jane Willis
Perfect! Having had a power cut today thank to the storm, I was looking for something that could be cooked entirely on the hob and used ingredients I have in the fridge – this fits the bill and will be on tonight’s menu.
Beth Young
Such a nostalgic recipe! Haven’t eaten this for years but most definitely want to have it again this week after reading this!
Camilla
Fab, I’m glad I’ve reminded you of it:-)
Ursula Hunt
Unusual combination and recipe

Lisa Williams
I never would of putting these two together but the more I think about it the more sense it makes thank you so much for all your inspiration 🙂
Anneli Faiers
I must say that looks yummy. Creamy and rich and I bet the grapes are just lovely. I think my equivalent dish that my Mum would roll out regularly would have been chicken thighs in a cream and mushroom sauce….:) Comforting childhood stuff. x
Camilla
Thanks Anneli, I love a creamy mushroom sauce too:-)
DANIELLE VEDMORE
Looks yummy hun – especially paired with the rice. Am not a big fan of pork but I think the cream and grapes would definitely make it more tasty – everything tastes better with cream added to it!
Camilla
If you don’t like pork then I’m sure it would be equally good with chicken:-)
Javelin Warrior
I’ve never had grapes with pork chops before, but I’m intrigued by the combination. And I love the sauce! I don’t know if I have a “signature” dish (and I hate that word) and definitely nothing this unique!
Camilla
Thanks Mark:-) The strangest combo I ever had was as a kid visiting my aunt when she was having a dinner party, we had fish with bananas and flaked almonds, this has stuck in my mind as I thought it was so wacky:-) I can’t say that’s a recipe I’m longing to recreate though LOL!
euphoriabuzz
Interesting recipe.
Ness
I’ve been waiting for this recipe since I saw your photo of it on Twitter. I love the idea of the sweetness of the grapes cutting through the heaviness of the cream. I’m sure all the family would like this.
Camilla
Aah, thanks Ness, nice to know it tickled your taste buds:-)
