Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Season the pork chops generously on both sides with salt and pepper. (1 minute)

03

Step

Cook the pork chops in the hot skillet until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. (6 minutes)

04

Step

Transfer the pork chops to a plate and set aside.

05

Step

Pour the white wine into the skillet. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon or spatula. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. (1 minute)

07

Step

Add the pluot wedges to the skillet. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until the pluots soften and begin to break down into a luscious sauce, about 10 minutes. (10 minutes)

08

Step

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the pluot sauce. (1 minute)

09

Step

Continue to cook until the pork chops are heated through and slightly pink in the center, about 3 to 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part should read at least 145°F (63°C). (5 minutes)

10

Step

Serve immediately, spooning the pluot sauce over the pork chops.

For a richer sauce, add a tablespoon of butter along with the pluots.
Feel free to substitute other stone fruits like peaches, nectarines, or plums.
A splash of balsamic vinegar at the end adds a delightful tang.
Serve with a side of creamy polenta or quinoa to soak up the delicious sauce.
Ensure pork chops are of similar thickness for even cooking.

    The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the brown sugar.

    Next time I will try it with pork tenderloin instead of chops.
