Heat grill over medium-high heat and lightly oil grill grates. I do this by folding up a paper towel and pouring some vegetable/canola oil on it. I then place paper towel on grates and use my grill brush to push the towel very quickly over them.

Grill pork chops on grill, flipping once, until just cooked through. Grill peach halves, cut side down, until warmed through and you get those awesome looking grill marks!

Meanwhile, stir together peach preserves, bourbon, apple cider vinegar, and onion powder in a small saucepan. Season with Kosher salt and place saucepan on grill along with pork. Bring to a boil and let simmer on the cool side of the grill for about 6-8 minutes. Alternatively, you can also do this part on the stove inside (bring mixture to a boil over high heat, then lower heat to maintain a simmer).

During the last minute of cooking, brush peach bourbon glaze all over pork chops. Serve pork chops with extra glaze and grilled peaches. Devour immediately!

About this Recipe
Craving a weeknight meal that feels gourmet but comes together in a flash? These Peach Bourbon Glazed Pork Chops deliver an impressive blend of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors, making a memorable dinner surprisingly simple to achieve. This recipe brings together common pantry staples and fresh ingredients for a delightful culinary experience.
The magic of this dish lies in the harmonious combination of its core components. The natural sweetness of peaches, amplified by peach preserves, pairs beautifully with the depth of bourbon and a touch of tangy apple cider vinegar. This creates a glaze that perfectly complements the savory richness of pork chops, offering a sophisticated taste without requiring complex cooking techniques. It's a testament to how simple, quality ingredients can create something truly special.
Prepare for a feast of flavors and textures. You'll enjoy tender, juicy pork chops, elevated by a luscious, sticky glaze that shimmers with the vibrant notes of peach and a subtle kick from the bourbon. The peaches, when cooked, soften into a delightful accompaniment, enhancing the overall experience. The touch of onion powder in the glaze adds a hint of savory complexity that rounds out the sweetness, leaving you with a wonderfully balanced bite. This naturally gluten-free dish is designed for ease, promising maximum flavor with minimal effort.
Feel free to adapt this recipe to your pantry or preferences. If fresh peaches are out of season, well-drained canned or thawed frozen peaches can be used in a pinch. For a non-alcoholic alternative, you can substitute the bourbon with an equal amount of apple juice or chicken broth, perhaps with a dash of vanilla extract for a similar depth. Similarly, apricot or even a good quality orange marmalade could stand in for peach preserves, offering a complementary fruity sweetness.
These Peach Bourbon Glazed Pork Chops are perfect for a quick yet elegant weeknight dinner or for impressing guests at a casual gathering. Serve them alongside a simple green salad or some fluffy rice to soak up every last bit of that delicious glaze.
