Take advantage of summer’s bounty before it’s gone with this recipe that I developed for Baker’s Joy. Jersey peaches are just coming into season right now and while they’re delicious on their own, they make a fun and tasty side dish. Grilling the peaches makes this pork chop recipe a little extra special. The pork is brushed with a savory soy mixture while a blend of honey and ginger enhances the natural sweetness in the peaches. Perfect for summer nights, this dinner is ready in less than 30 minutes.

Can this be made in a skillet or in the oven?
I think it can be done in either skillet or oven, you won't get the same caramelization as on the grill. For skillet, I would use and overn proof skillet sear the chops on both sides, then pour over remaining marinade and place in 400 degree oven and cook to desired doneness. I would do peaches separately in baking dish, bake in oven until tender.
