Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups peaches (ripe, pitted, and diced)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 sprig fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper, and the garlic powder. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the diced peaches, honey, apple cider vinegar, Sriracha sauce, ground cinnamon, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Stir well and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches break down and the mixture thickens. Add the water to adjust the consistency if needed.
Once the peach glaze is cooked, remove it from heat and use a blender or immersion blender to puree it until smooth. Set the glaze aside.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the seasoned pork chops in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. Lower the heat to medium to prevent burning.
Brush the peach glaze generously over the pork chops. Cover and continue cooking for another 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through and reapplying more glaze, until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute for tender meat.
Serve the pork chops with additional peach glaze drizzled on top and garnish with fresh thyme if desired. Pair with roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal.
