💡 Cook's Notes

To maximize the peach flavor of the glaze, we use peach preserves along with frozen peaches and add a bit of Dijon mustard and cayenne pepper for a kick. To ensure perfectly cooked, juicy chops, don't overcook the meat—once the chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F, let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute while the glaze simmers. Three medium-sized ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced, can be substituted for the frozen.
