These taste a lot fancier than the amount of effort required to make them! That and a short ingredients list makes these a great dish to impress on the fly...the recipe calls for blackberries, but raspberries work too! (You get a deeper sweeter taste with blackberries. With raspberries, the dish is tangier, more tart.)
(from PaleOMG)
INGREDIENTS:
(2-4 servings)
1-2 lbs. pork chops
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp dried thyme
salt and pepper
12 ounce fresh blackberries (OR RASPBERRIES!)
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp water
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Turn grill on.
2. Place pork chops on a plate and cover both sides with cinnamon, thyme, salt, and pepper. Press the spices into the chops.
3. While the grill heats up, place a small saucepan over medium heat and add blackberries, balsamic vinegar, water, and a pinch of salt.
4. Stir sauce frequently to avoid burning on the bottom as it mixes and heats up.
5. Turn heat to low and let sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes.
6. Pour half the sauce into a bowl for glazing purposes. (You can leave the blackberries in the pot, since those look best on top of the chops later.)
7. Use a glazing brush to glaze one side of your chops then place that glazed side down onto your grill.
8. Then glaze the other side, cover grill and let cook for 5-7 minutes per side. Glaze as much as you want...3-4 times preferably.
9. Plate chops and top with the leftover blackberry sauce that has been simmering and thickening up.
