Peach Bourbon Pork Chops

Four pork chops with peach bourbon flavorings.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Resting 5 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pork chops 1 inch thick, about 8 oz each, bone-in unless boneless is specified
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1/4 cup peach preserves
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Season pork chops with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Cook pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove and keep warm.
  4. Take the skillet off the heat and away from flames before adding bourbon, butter and peach preserves. Return to low heat.
  5. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until lightly thickened; do not ignite.
  6. Return the pork chops and any accumulated juices to the skillet, turning to coat with the glaze.
  7. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until pork is cooked through.
  8. Before removing the chops from heat, check the thickest part away from bone reaches 145°F with an instant-read thermometer; continue cooking gently if needed. Cooking times are estimates. Remove from heat and rest at least 3 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve the pork chops hot, drizzled with extra peach bourbon sauce.
