Juicy pork chops covered in a delicious cherry sauce makes this taste like a five-star meal – without the five-star price!
I found this recipe while searching for a way to use cherries with my dinner from the NY Times, and it did not disappoint!
For this recipe, I used my Cherry & Olive Pitter, Food Chopper, and 12″ (30cm) Cast Iron Grill Pan Skillet:

Pit Four Fruits at One Time
If you love fresh cherries and olives, but not the mess or the time it takes to remove the pits, this handy tool quickly pits four cherries at once without bruising or wasting any of the fruit. The clear bottom tray catches all the juice and pits, mess-free. And the non-slip feet keep it in place while you zip through. The top locks to make it easy to store in a drawer.
Olive Pitter
We’ve included an extra insert so you can also pit smaller olives.

One of our most popular kitchen tools, the Food Chopper makes quick work of chopping veggies, cooked meat, and nuts in seconds. It’s the solution to tear-free onion chopping! It’s equipped with a unique stainless-steel blade that rotates with each press of the plunger for consistent results. The more you press the plunger, the finer the chop.
12″ (30cm) Cast Iron Grill Pan Skillet:

A Grill Pan for the Grill & Stove
This grill pan is exactly what you need to grill your food—whether you’re cooking indoors or out. The raised ridges on the bottom of the pan give your food rich, seared grill marks, and keeps food out of oil and drippings. The pan is big enough to hold 4 chicken breasts or burgers, or grill veggies for the whole family. The two-handle design lets you easily take your pan from the heat to the table, and because it’s made of durable cast iron, food will stay warm throughout your meal. And when you’re ready to clean up, use the ridged pan scraper to remove food.
About Cast Iron
Cast iron is a cornerstone of cooking and has a well-deserved place in modern kitchens. It’s meant to be used often, loved forever, and passed down through generations. Pampered Chef’s cast iron comes pre-seasoned, letting you use it right away—and its natural nonstick finish gets better the more you use it. These pans have excellent heat retention, so your food will get a rich sear and stay hot and delicious for a long time. They’re heat-safe to 650°F (343°F), so they hold up to searing, sautéing, baking, frying, broiling, grilling, and campfire cooking. Plus, you can use metal utensils and not worry about scratching the finish. Made in USA

Ingredients
- 4 pork loin chops bone-in and at least one-inch thick
- 1 tbsp rosemary freshly minced
- 1 tsp salt plus more for the sauce
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper plus more for the sauce
- 1 tsp finely chopped garlic
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tbsp minced shallot
- 1 cup cherries stemmed, pitted and halved

Chop shallot, mince Rosemary, and chop garlic.


Pat Pork chops dry, then season with salt and pepper. Rub both sides with rosemary and garlic.





You can marinate for two hours, up to overnight if you like. Bring pork back to room temperature prior to cooking.

Place one tablespoon of butter into the skillet, and when the foam subsides, add in the shallots. Cook until softened, 2-3 minutes.



Add in cherries, wine and any juices the pork chops have accumulated, stirring to incorporate. Cook 5-6 minutes, until liquid is slightly reduced.
