Peach Glazed Pork Chops Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in pork chops, about 3/4-inch thick
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 17.5 ounces (1 jar) Gift Basket Village Country Kitchens Peach Preserves
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1. Season and Sear the Pork Chops: Season both sides of the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

2. Make the Peach Glaze: In the same skillet, add chicken broth and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in Gift Basket Village Country Kitchens Peach Preserves to taste, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, dried thyme, and garlic powder. Mix well until the preserves are melted and the sauce is smooth.

3. Simmer and Glaze: Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

4. Finish Cooking the Pork Chops: Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, spooning the peach glaze over each chop to coat evenly. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

5. Serve: Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot with additional peach glaze spooned over the top.
