Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 1.5 cups fresh blackberries
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or prepare a grill pan on the stovetop if grilling is not an option.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blackberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, rosemary, and water. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
Let the blackberry mixture cook for 5-7 minutes, occasionally stirring and gently mashing the blackberries with the back of a spoon. Once the mixture is thickened and reduced slightly, remove from heat and set it aside.
Brush the pork chops generously with olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking.
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for boneless pork chops, or 6-7 minutes per side for bone-in pork chops, depending on thickness. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush a layer of the prepared blackberry glaze over the top of the pork chops, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 3-5 minutes to retain their juices.
Serve the pork chops warm, drizzled with extra blackberry glaze. Optional: garnish with additional fresh blackberries or a sprig of rosemary.
