Name: Simple Summer Pork Chops With Balsamic-Pepper Plum Reduction And Fresh Thyme
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: For the pork:; 4 to 5 pork chops; 1 tablespoon olive oil; Salt and pepper, to taste; For the plum reduction:; 2 plums (any color works here; my favorites are the deep-red fleshed ones); 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar; 1 tablespoon brown sugar; 2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed from sprig; 1 teaspoon freshly ground rainbow peppercorns

Servings: persons

For the pork:
4 to 5 pork chops
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the plum reduction:
2 plums (any color works here; my favorites are the deep-red fleshed ones)
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed from sprig
1 teaspoon freshly ground rainbow peppercorns

1
Rub the pork with the oil and salt and pepper. Put on hot grill. Or, if you are cooking in the pan, set it aside and wait a bit. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until nicely browned and cooked through.
2
Chop the plums into small bites. Place all of the ingredients for the reduction in a cast iron pan. You can also use a small saucepan here, but I like my cast iron.
3
Simmer over low-medium heat until the plums are softened and the balsamic is reduced to half. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. The plums will still be chunky when finished.
4
Pour the sauce over the pork chops, and enjoy with good crusty bread.
