Servings: 4

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.
