How to Make Basalmic Cherry Pork Chops

1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and 2 cloves minced garlic.
3. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes until softened.
4. Stir in 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar.
5. Cook for 30 seconds, allowing the vinegar to slightly reduce.
6. Add 1 cup pitted fresh or frozen cherries and 1/4 cup chicken or pork stock.
7. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is thick and slightly syrupy, about 5 to 7 minutes.
8. Remove from heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
9. Transfer half of the glaze to a separate bowl for later use.
10. Coat 4 pork chops (about 1 inch thick) with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
11. Brush the chops with half of the cherry balsamic glaze.
12. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
13. Grill chops for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
14. Remove chops from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
15. Top with the remaining cherry balsamic glaze and serve immediately.
