Name: Schlesisches Himmelreich (Silesian Pork)
Ingredients: 1 lb Dried fruit (prunes, apricots, apples, pears); 4 Fine pork chops or 1 lb lean pork steaks; 2 oz (4 Tbsp) lard or butter

God is not looking for people to work for Him; so much as He is looking for people who will let Him work for them. The gospel is not a Help Wanted ad. Neither is the call to Christian service. On the contrary, the gospel commands us to give up and hang out a Help Wanted sign (this is the basic meaning of prayer). Then the gospel promises that God will work for us if we do. He will not surrender the glory of being the Giver.

INGREDIENTS

1	lb	Dried fruit (prunes, apricots, apples, pears)
4		Fine pork chops or 1 lb lean pork steaks
2	oz	(4 Tbsp) lard or butter

INSTRUCTIONS

You will need a medium-sized stewpan with a lid.  Soak the fruit for a
couple of hours - or overnight if possible - in either plain water or cold
tea which will give a darker, richer juice to cover.
Fry the chops in the fat, turning them once, so they take color. Add the
fruit and the soaking liquid. Cover and simmer all together for 30 to 35
minutes, or until the fruit is soft and the chops cooked through.
Serve with potato dumplings.
Serves 4. Time: Start the day before; 10 minutes plus 35 minutes cooking.
