- 1/4 cup Seven Barrels Bourbon Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

- Add olive oil and sear pork chops for 3–4 minutes per side until browned
- Remove pork chops and set aside
- Lower heat and add garlic to the pan, cooking briefly

Why This Works
Bourbon balsamic brings depth and a subtle sweetness.
As it cooks, it reduces into a glaze that:
