When I made this Easy Peach Jam I mentioned that I wanted to come up with a recipe using the jam with pork. The combination of sweet and spicy is my favorite meal to prepare, and incorporating it with pork is such a scrumptious match.

The mix keeps the taste buds alive and guessing what the next bite will bring. I originally thought that I would use pork tenderloin, but can you believe that my grocery store didn’t have any! Instead I bought thick boneless pork loin chops which left tasty brown bits of cooked meat on the pan that I deglazed!

I already had the jam made and I doctored it up by adding a smidgen of salt and the diced jalapeno pepper. I left out most of the seeds and white pith of the pepper because I always get a little wimpy when I add spicy flavors.

I think it’s easier to add heat by tossing in more of the pith of the jalapeno after tasting the dish a couple of times. Combining just the flesh of the pepper with the peach jam added nice layer of flavor.

I also sautéed red onion and fresh peach slices and worked on scrapping those brown meat pieces on the bottom of the pan by adding a splash of white wine. I could have called it done at that point, but adding peach sauce is sooo delectable!

It’s time to make more Peach Freezer Jam! I only have one cup that is in the freezer. The rest of the batch I made is being used up!

  1. A great flavor profile in the peach/jalapeno mix. Seems like it would go well on so many different things. That sweet/spicy/savory mix has me salivating. Nice!

  2. I’ve always been a huge fan of pork chops served with fruit-based sauces, but I’ve only ever tried apple and pear. Peach puts such a fantastic summer spin on things! Not to mention that peach and jalapeno go SO well together. Can’t wait to mow this down.

  3. I am here for that peach jalapeno sauce! It goes so well with pork chop and is one of my favourite summer sauces. I’m going to have to pick up some more peach jam the next time I’m at the store!

  4. I adore the use of fruit in savoury dishes in general, and peach goes SO well with pork! The jalapeno is a perfect way to add punch and that peppery/green flavour to the recipe too. The red onion is an excellent touch too – not enough to overwhelm the other ingredients, but a great added flavour. Love the whole thing!

  5. Pork chops taste so good when they have a little sweet along with the savory. The heat from the jalapeños is perfect for the spice. I like that it makes a sauce you can use over the meat along with a carb. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

  6. This looks great! I love red onion with fruit, I think they compliment each other in savory dishes. Definitely going to try this clever recipe. Thanks for sharing!

  7. I love pork chops for an easy meal, and this one sounds so flavorful. The peaches and peach jam sound so yummy, and such a great touch. I love the bit of jalapeno heat in this too. I can’t wait to make this one!

  8. Pork and peaches pair so well together. Add the nice kick from the jalapeno, and this takes to a whole new level. Sounds like a delicious dinner to me.

  9. This is a wonderful dish! I often grille pork chops and peaches together. You can’t beat the flavor combination. Adding the jalapenos will add a great punch of flavor. I can’t wait to try it.

  10. I love using peaches in savory dishes, this sounds wonderful, plus I have a lot of peach jam, still from last year’s canning, so thanks for giving me a new way to use it!

  11. Yes! I love this recipe! I recently discovered how wonderful peach and peppers are together in my own kitchen. I can’t wait to try this out. We eat pork all the time!

  12. I made with apricots and it was great. Some in our family can’t take hot peppers. If you remove the membrane, seeds and soak it in 7 Up for an hour it takes most of the sting out of the peppers.
    Note: Don’t drink the 7-Up afterward, ha ha.
