Ingredients
  

Raspberry Glazed Pork Chops
  • 4 bone-in pork chops 1 inch thick
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 cup raspberry jam
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, minced plus extra for garnish
  • 2 clove garlic, minced
  • 0.25 cup chicken broth
  • fresh raspberries for garnish
  • rosemary for garnish sprigs for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Season and sear the pork
  1. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork chops for 4–5 minutes per side until golden; set aside.
Make the raspberry balsamic glaze
  1. In the same pan, sauté the garlic for 30 seconds.
  2. Stir in the raspberry jam, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced rosemary, and chicken broth until smooth.
  3. Simmer the sauce for 3–4 minutes until it reduces to a glossy glaze; keep it gently bubbling.
Glaze and finish
  1. Return the pork chops to the pan and coat them in the raspberry glaze.
  2. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until the pork chops are heated through and the glaze looks sticky and shiny.
  3. Garnish with fresh raspberries and rosemary sprigs and serve.

Notes

For the stickiest glaze, simmer until it visibly thickens and coats the back of a spoon before returning the chops to the pan. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 3 days; reheat gently in a skillet over low heat. Freezing is not recommended because raspberry jam-based sauces can lose texture. Dietary swap: use whole-grain or Dijon-mustard without added sugars (or reduce jam slightly) for a lower-sugar version.
