Sweet and Savory Pork

I love how pork is such a blank flavor because it really allows you to build up and off from it and turn it into something unique and wonderful. These juicy and savory pork chops are enhanced with sweet flavors from the peach blackberry sauce. With summer approaching and the availability of fresh fruits expanding, it’s much easier and more convenient to gather everything needed for this fruit sauce and pork chop meal.

How to Make Pork Chops with Blackberry Peach Sauce

Season the pork chops with the Herbes, salt, and pepper to taste.
Heat your oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place your chops into the pan and brown on both sides for about 5-6 minutes each. This will depend on the size of your chops.
Once browned, remove from pan and set aside (keep warm). I recommend placing them on a plate and covering in foil.
In the same skillet, add your blackberries and peaches.
Stir in the vinegar, sugar, and honey.
Cook while stirring often until the sauce has thickened and the peaches are soft. This should take about 6-7 minutes.
Serve over the pork chops.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blackberry and peaches?

Yes, you can! Go right on ahead and use frozen fruits if desired or if the fresh fruits are no longer in season. The only major difference is that it may take longer to cook as the sauce will take longer to thicken thanks to the added water content and temperature of the fruit.

What if my sauce doesn’t thicken?

If after a while you notice that your sauce isn’t thickening, remove some liquid from the pot and stir it together with about 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until well dissolved. Then stir that slurry into the pan with a whisk to fully combine. This should thicken the sauce up fairly quickly.

What temperature are pork chops finished cooking at?

You will know that your pork chops have reached a safe temperature to eat when the internal temp reaches 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. It’s okay if they are still slightly pink when served but they should not look raw.
