Blackberry Glazed Pork Chops

Ingredients

Fresh parsley

for garnish

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Garlic powder

1 teaspoon

Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons

Balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup

Honey

3 tablespoons

Fresh blackberries

1 cup

Pork chops

4 (about 1-inch thick)

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. Season the pork chops generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh blackberries, honey, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Stir occasionally and cook for about 5 minutes or until the blackberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Grill the seasoned pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and are cooked through.
5. During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the blackberry glaze onto the pork chops, ensuring they are well-coated. Reserve some glaze for serving.
6. Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
7. Serve the pork chops drizzled with the remaining blackberry glaze and garnish with fresh parsley.
