About this recipe

Savor the exquisite combination of juicy pork chops glazed with a luscious blackberry sauce. This dish balances sweet and tangy flavors with tender meat, making it perfect for both special dinners and quick weeknight meals.

Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in pork chops
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    In a saucepan, combine blackberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard. Cook over medium heat until berries are soft and the mixture thickens, about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Strain the sauce to remove seeds, then return to the pan and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Season pork chops with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops, about 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through.

  5. 5

    Brush the glaze onto the pork chops during the last 2 minutes of cooking.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately, drizzling extra sauce on top if desired.

Chef's tip

To ensure the glaze adheres well, allow the sauce to caramelize gently in the last few minutes of cooking. Adjust honey for sweetness if using particularly tart blackberries.
