Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)
• 1 cup peach preserves
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 pieces fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the peach preserves, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the peach preserve mixture into the skillet. Stir well, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

Bring the sauce to a simmer and return the pork chops to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chops to coat them evenly.

Step 7

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook the pork chops for 10-12 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Turn the chops halfway through cooking to ensure even doneness.

Step 8

Add the sliced peaches to the skillet during the last 5 minutes of cooking, allowing them to soften slightly and absorb the flavors of the sauce.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs and serve warm. Pair with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed green beans, for a complete meal.
