Recipe Notes
- You could use bone-in pork chops.

- I used Better Than Bouillon Chicken, but there are several stock concentrates on the market.
- Taste the sauce and add more balsamic, preserves or other ingredients to suit your tastes.

Here's how to make it:
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Cook the chops in the skillet until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
- Add the garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the balsamic vinegar, cherry jam, chicken stock base, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, butter and water. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until it thickens, about 3 minutes.
