Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-sear chops until lightly brown and no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove chops from the skillet and set aside.

02

Step
7 mins

Heat remaining teaspoon of oil in the skillet. Add shallots and thyme. Cook and stir until shallots become translucent, about 1 minute. Add port wine, blackberry juice, chicken broth, and balsamic vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil, scraping any brown bits from the from skillet into sauce.

03

Step
7 mins

Cook until reduced by one-third, about 5 minutes. Mix cornstarch and water into a paste. Stir into sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low. Stir in blackberries and simmer until just warmed through.

04

Step
1 mins

Return chops to the skillet, turn to coat in sauce, and serve topped with more sauce.

For an even richer flavor, consider using a high-quality port wine.
If fresh blackberries are not available, frozen blackberries can be used. Be sure to thaw and drain them before adding to the sauce.
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes to complete the meal.
