How to Make Quick Pork Saut With Blackberries

Season 2 (1-inch thick) pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add pork chops and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Add 1 teaspoon olive oil to the same skillet.
Add 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
Pour in 1/4 cup ruby port wine, 1/4 cup blackberry nectar, 1/4 cup chicken broth, and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar.
Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to reduce the sauce and intensify the flavors.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the sauce and stir until slightly thickened.
Stir in 1/2 cup fresh blackberries and 1 tablespoon butter.
Simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring gently, until the butter melts and the sauce is glossy.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, turning to coat them evenly with the sauce.
Serve immediately over buttered egg noodles tossed with fresh parsley and steamed peas.
