This was inspired by a rhubarb reduction I used once on pork, and also by a need for an interesting and quick weeknight sauce. It makes the whole house smell like vinegar, but I really don't have a problem with that. We grilled the pork because we were grilling other things, but this sauce would also work wonderfully as a pan sauce. This meal is fantastic with a simple side salad and some crusty bread to soak up the plum juice. —kerrylow
WHO: Kerrylow is a student living in Atlanta with a penchant for stone fruit.
WHAT: A simple grilled pork dish that makes the most of end-of-summer produce.
HOW: Throw some pork chops on the grill, then head back inside to make a plum reduction with balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and thyme, which you'll spoon over top.
WHY WE LOVE IT: This dish is deceptively simple for how delicious and impressive it is. Invite some friends over, throw the chops on the grill, then spend the rest of your evening outside instead of cooking under a roof. —The Editors
