Brown seasoned pork chops.
Place uncooked rice in bottom of 1 1/2 - 2 quart casserole. Pour on cherries and juice. Sprinkle with sugar, lemon peel and cinnamon. Top with browned pork chops and bake 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hours at 350 degrees.
May be cooked in crock pot 4 hours on high of 8-10 hours on low. (May have to add a little water.)
Add brownings from pork chops for more flavor or add 1/2 teaspoon salt and bouillon when you add sugar.
