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
- Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Season the pork chops generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve the pork chops drizzled with the remaining blackberry glaze and garnish with fresh parsley.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the blackberry glaze.
- If you don't have fresh blackberries, you can substitute with frozen blackberries, but make sure to thaw and drain them before use.
- Pair these pork chops with a refreshing arugula salad or roasted sweet potatoes for a balanced meal.
