Sweet and smoky bourbon peach glazed pork chops with a luscious syrupy sauce, perfect for an easy weeknight dinner or special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick
  • 2 large ripe peaches, peeled and diced (or 1 cup peach puree)
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A few sprigs fresh thyme (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the peaches, or blend them in a food processor until smooth (about 1 cup of puree). Set aside.
  2. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the peach puree, bourbon, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic. Stir well to blend.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops. Cook without moving for 4-5 minutes until golden crust forms. Flip and sear the other side for 4 minutes.
  5. Lower heat to medium. Pour the peach bourbon glaze over the pork chops in the skillet. Add fresh thyme sprigs if using. Spoon glaze over chops as it simmers. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until glaze thickens and chops reach 145°F (63°C) internal temperature.
  6. Remove pork chops from pan and let rest for 5 minutes. If glaze isn’t thick enough, continue simmering on low until syrupy.
  7. Serve pork chops with extra glaze spooned over. Garnish with chopped fresh thyme or parsley if desired.

Notes

Keep heat medium or medium-low when simmering glaze to prevent burning. Let pork chops rest after cooking to retain juiciness. Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable; thaw and drain excess liquid. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or plant-based margarine. For low-carb, replace brown sugar with erythritol.
