Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 bone-in pork chops, roughly 1-inch thick
  • 2 ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped (optional)

Method
 

  1. Blend Peach Bourbon Glaze:

    Using a blender or food processor, mix together diced peaches, bourbon, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic, smoked paprika, and fresh thyme if using. Process until smooth or keep slightly chunky for texture. Reserve. (5 minutes)

  2. Season Pork Chops:

    Dry pork chops thoroughly with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper. (2 minutes)

  3. Heat Skillet with Oil:

    Heat a skillet over medium-high flame and add olive oil. Allow it to become hot but not smoking. (3 minutes)

  4. Sear Chops Golden:

    Place chops in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until they turn golden brown. Avoid moving them around. (8 minutes)

  5. Glaze and Cook Chops:

    Reduce heat to medium and pour the peach bourbon BBQ glaze over the chops. Baste the meat with the glaze as it simmers, ensuring even coating. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, turning once, until the internal temperature hits 145°F (65°C). (7 minutes)

  6. Rest Chops Before Serving:

    Take chops out of the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes prior to serving. (5 minutes)
