INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup The Toasted Oat Cherry Streusel Soft Granola
1/2 cup goat cheese crumbles
4 pork chops
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
Salt & pepper to season
2 cups fresh cherries, pitted & halved or quartered
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. fresh thyme, chopped
1 to 2 tbsp. honey

INSTRUCTIONS

Simmer the balsamic vinegar in a small pot over medium-low heat until it is reduced to a syrupy consistency.

Set aside (or immerse bottom of the pan in cold water) to cool the reduction. Add cherries & thyme & allow mixture to stand while grilling the pork chops.

Preheat grill. Season the pork chops with salt & pepper and rub the outside of the chops with one clove of the minced garlic (half).

Grill the pork chops until fully cooked — a meat thermometer should reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit at the center. This could take 10-22 minutes depending on the thickness of the pork chop & the range of heat.

Top pork chops with cherry-balsamic mixture. Sprinkle on goat cheese crumbles & Cherry Streusel Soft Granola.
