Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 4 boneless pork chops

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 large clove garlic, minced

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves

  • 5 fresh plums, pitted and coarsely chopped

Directions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper; cook in hot oil until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove pork chops to a plate.

  2. Reduce the heat to medium; cook and stir garlic in the skillet just until fragrant, 10 to 20 seconds. Pour in soy sauce, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, and cloves; bring to a boil. Stir the mixture until the brown sugar dissolves; add plums.

  3. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat, and simmer the mixture until the sauce has thickened and plums are very soft, about 45 minutes.

  4. Mash plums with a potato masher to an applesauce-like texture. Place pork chops back into the pan and cook in the sauce until no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes. A meat thermometer inserted into the middle of a chop should read 145 degrees (63 degrees C).
