An easy and delicious main course quick enough for weeknights, and sophisticated enough for special occasions
- 2 tablespoons raisins
- 2 tablespoons sweet Riesling white wine
- 2 tablespoons water
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large ripe peaches, peeled and diced into 1-inch pieces
- 4 center cut, boneless pork chops (1-inch thick)
Cook the raisins, wine and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Add the vinegar, oil and parsley. Stir in the peaches and add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside while grilling the pork chops.
Season the chops with salt and pepper. Grill until well charred with an internal temperature of 145F. Allow the chops to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve the pork chops topped with the peach agrodolce. Enjoy!
Allow the pork chops to come to room temperature for about 30-minutes before grilling. This helps them cook all the way through instead of being raw in the middle and overcooked on the outside.
Balsamic vinegar is delicious in this sauce but champagne vinegar or another light colored vinegar would be a good too.

June 22, 2018 at 3:03 pmWe were just grilling pork chops last night and they are such a treat. I love this recipe with the peach agrodolce. My husband will grill a peach for himself when we’re doing that and it makes such a great pairing with pork. This looks perfect!

June 18, 2018 at 4:13 pmWell, it may not be peach season here but I am so ready now that I have this recipe. I love the whole sweet sour thing and it is interesting that so many cuisines have their own versions. We still have to restain the deck but summer is here!

June 18, 2018 at 1:16 pmI would never have though to pair peaches with pork but it looks amazing, Tricia! My favorite wine is also a Chateau Ste. Michelle. It’s their Indian Wells Chardonnay. It corks very well – even for three days!

July 24, 2012 at 12:35 amThis dish just got a shout out from Tanna at Brick Street Bungalow. I'm definitely going to be trying this.
From the Kitchen says
July 23, 2012 at 7:29 pmI came over to visit from Tanna's bungalow. We love peaches and chicken and delightful combinations of both. I've bookmarked this recipe to try. As an added bonus, I see that you are a Virginia blogger. I was born and raised in Virginia–in fact, in the city that Amanda and her sweet family now call home. I had the delight of meeting them (and Tanna) on my visit back home last
Tanna at The Brick Street Bungalow says
July 23, 2012 at 6:51 pmTricia, this was f.a.b.u.l.o.u.s!!!! I didn't have white balsamic, so had to use regular, but it was out of this world delicious!! thank you. xoxo ~ t

July 21, 2012 at 12:00 pmMmmmmm… I love all these peach recipes. I just saw peaches here in NY a few days ago and I'm looking forward to getting some. Ice cream is high on my list of things to do with peaches this year. Yours looks so creamy and delicious! Summer in a bowl.
Amy says
July 21, 2012 at 5:12 amThese are some awesome peachy recipes, especially this grilled pork with peach agrodolce! Can't wait to try it as I just got some peaches from my in-law's garden. 🙂 Have a great weekend.
Kari Lindsay says
July 20, 2012 at 10:34 pmLooks really delicious. I like the addition of the balsamic to balance out the sweetness of the peaches and raisins. Your other peach recipes look great too. Don't ya just love the fruits of summer?
Jacquelyn Grandy says
July 20, 2012 at 9:55 pmI love peaches, nectarines and all those juicy summer fruits. I love that you topped them on pork chops as pork chops have a tendency to be dry. <br /><br />I am definitely checking out your peach pie post as that is my FAVORITE pie. <br /><br />xoxo,<br />Jackie
