Wrap the pork cutlets in foil to keep warm and set aside.
In the meantime…
Place the 3 cups of water in the bottom half of a steamer pan set.
Add the salt, butter and bring them to a boil.
Trim or snap off the dry ends of the asparagus.
Place them in the top half of the steamer pan set.
Steam until the asparagus is tender, for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Set aside to cool off.
In the same skillet used for the pork cutlets, add the jam, orange juice, and white wine vinegar and stir well, until all ingredients are combined.
Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the sauce has thickened, for about 3 minutes.
Return the pork cutlets to the skillet and coat them in the raspberry sauce.
Plate the pork cutlets and asparagus and serve warm.
