Often times it was something a little gamey like duck or lamb, but it is a combination that works well with chicken and pork also. Cooking the fruit down to an almost jam-like consistency provides a nice fruity counterbalance to the taste of the meat. We cooked pork chops and basted them with butter and oil as they seared in order to keep them moist and tender. This particular recipe serves two people, but it is easily adjusted to serve more. It would be great with skin-on chicken thighs as well.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42199\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42199\" style=\"width: 6000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"42199\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/isobaresoffit.com\/2019\/04\/03\/pork-chops-with-cherry-compote\/dsc_9751\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/isobaresoffit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_9751.jpg?fit=6000%2C4000&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"6000,4000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D5300&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1554214379&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;52&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;560&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.016666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DSC_9751\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Saut\u00e9ed Pork Chops&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/isobaresoffit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_9751.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/isobaresoffit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_9751.jpg?fit=640%2C427&amp;ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42199\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/isobaresoffit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_9751.jpg?resize=640%2C427&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"DSC_9751\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42199\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Saut\u00e9ed Pork Chops<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 Pork Chops &#8211; thick cut<\/li>\n<li>3 cups Cherries &#8211; pitted (we used frozen cherries)<\/li>\n<li>\u00a03 tbsp Granulated Sugar<\/li>\n<li>\u00a01\/2 tsp White Wine Vinegar<\/li>\n<li>\u00a02 tsp Dried Rosemary<\/li>\n<li>\u00a01 tsp Lemon Zest<\/li>\n<li>\u00a01 tsp Dried Thyme<\/li>\n<li>\u00a01 tsp Garlic Powder<\/li>\n<li>\u00a02 tbsp Unsalted Butter<\/li>\n<li>\u00a02 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Salt and Pepper to Taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42196\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42196\" style=\"width: 6000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"42196\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/isobaresoffit.com\/2019\/04\/03\/pork-chops-with-cherry-compote\/dsc_9729\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/isobaresoffit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_9729.jpg?fit=6000%2C4000&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"6000,4000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D5300&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1554123709&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;42&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;640&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.016666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DSC_9729\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Cherry Mixture&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/isobaresoffit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_9729.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/isobaresoffit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_9729.jpg?fit=640%2C427&amp;ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42196\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/isobaresoffit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_9729.jpg?resize=640%2C427&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"DSC_9729\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42196\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cherry Mixture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>INSTRUCTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a small sauce pan, combine the cherries, sugar, vinegar, 1 tablespoon rosemary, salt and pepper. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, gently stirring, until the mixture is thick, but keeping the cherries mostly intact, about 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest and put the compote into a bowl and let stand to cool. Refrigerate for at least 2 to 3 hours or over night. Season both sides of the pork chops with the remaining rosemary, thyme, garlic, and salt and pepper. Heat the butter and olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and begins to simmer. Carefully place the pork chops into the skillet and cook until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the pork chops and continue to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, basting them with the butter and oil frequently to keep them moist and tender. Place the pork chops onto serving plates and spoon half of the cherry mixture over each.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42197\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42197\" style=\"width: 6000px\"
