Black Cherry Balsamic Glazed Pork Chops

Black Cherry Balsamic Glazed Pork Chops at The Little Shop of Olive Oils

There’s something about a perfectly glazed pork chop that feels both comforting and just a little elevated.

These Black Cherry Balsamic Glazed Pork Chops are rich, glossy, and full of flavor — the kind of dinner that makes people pause after the first bite.

Our Black Cherry Balsamic reduces into this beautiful, deep glaze that enhances the natural sweetness of the pork without overpowering it. And when you pair it with Rosemary Olive Oil, you get that warm, savory herb note that ties everything together.

The outside caramelizes just enough. The inside stays tender and juicy. And that spoonful of glaze over the top? Don’t skip it.

Serve it with roasted potatoes and asparagus like this, or alongside a simple green salad. It feels special enough for company but easy enough for a weeknight dinner.

Savory. Slightly sweet. Perfectly balanced.

Black Cherry Balsamic Glazed Pork Chops

Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)

  • 2 Tbsp Rosemary Premium Olive Oil

  • ⅓ cup Black Cherry Balsamic Vinegar

  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 Tbsp Franklin Raw Honey (optional, for added sweetness)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • Salt, to taste

  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Pat pork chops dry and season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together Black Cherry Balsamic, Dijon mustard, honey (if using), and minced garlic. Set aside.

  3. Heat Rosemary Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  4. Add pork chops and sear for 4–5 minutes per side, until nicely browned and internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove temporarily from skillet and set aside.

  5. Reduce heat to medium and pour the balsamic mixture into the same skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.

  6. Simmer for 3–5 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken slightly.

  7. Return pork chops to the skillet and spoon the glaze over the top. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until coated and glossy.

  8. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon additional glaze over each chop.
