Remember to pre-heat the skillet on medium-high heat to ensure a hard sear on the pork chops for extra delicious flavor.

Pork Chops with Cherry Glaze

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Cook pork chops for 5 minutes. Turn and cook an additional 5 minutes or until interior temperature reaches 145 degrees. Remove pork chops from skillet. Keep warm.

Add onions to skillet. Cook and stir until onions are very soft, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Stir in sugar. Cook and stir until onions are caramelized and tender, about 5 additional minutes.

Stir in apple juice, balsamic vinegar and cherries. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Return pork chops and any accumulated juices to the skillet.

Cherries out of season? Not a problem! Simply swap fresh cherries for thawed Hy-Vee frozen dark cherries and cook until warmed through.
