Ingredients:

4 bone-in or boneless pork chops

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp olive oil

2 ripe peaches, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced (optional for extra flavor)

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 tbsp honey or brown sugar (optional for added sweetness)

Fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish (optional)

 

Instructions:

1. Season the Pork Chops:
Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

2. Sear the Pork Chops:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 145°F / 63°C).
Remove and set aside.

3. Sauté the Peaches:
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium.
Add sliced peaches and minced garlic (if using). Cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened.

4. Deglaze and Glaze:
Add balsamic vinegar and honey (or brown sugar). Stir to coat peaches and deglaze the pan.
Simmer for another 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

5. Return Chops to Pan:
Place the pork chops back into the skillet and spoon the peach-balsamic mixture over the top.
Simmer for 1–2 minutes to reheat and blend flavors.

6. Serve:
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
