Pork Chops With Cherry Sauce

You've heard of pork chops and apple sauce. But pork chops and cherry sauce? Oh, yes. Prepare to have your mind blown.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 shallots, thinly sliced

• 1 pound cherries, pitted and roughly chopped

• ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth

• 2 tablespoons orange marmalade

• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

• ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper

• 8 boneless pork chops, 1/2 inch thick

• kosher salt and pepper

Directions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 3 minutes.

2. Stir in the cherries, broth, marmalade, vinegar, and red pepper. Simmer until the sauce thickens, 6 to 8 minutes.

3. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.

4. In 2 batches, cook the chops until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

5. Divide the chops among plates and top with the cherry sauce.
