📖 Instructions

1. Gather all your ingredients: You'll need pork chops, peach preserves, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Make sure you have everything prepped and ready to go before you start cooking.
2. Season the pork chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. This helps them to brown better. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Don't be shy with the seasoning; it's what gives the pork chops their flavor.
3. Sear the pork chops: Turn on your pressure cooker and select the 'sauté' function. Add olive oil to the pot and let it heat up for a minute or two. Once hot, carefully place the pork chops in the pot, making sure not to overcrowd them. Sear for about 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned. Searing the pork chops adds depth of flavor and helps to lock in the juices. If you overcrowd the pot, the pork chops will steam instead of sear, so work in batches if necessary.
4. Make the peach glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the peach preserves, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard until well combined. This glaze is what makes the pork chops truly special. The combination of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors is simply divine.
5. Add the glaze to the pressure cooker: Pour the peach glaze over the seared pork chops in the pressure cooker. Make sure the pork chops are evenly coated with the glaze. This will ensure that they are infused with flavor throughout the cooking process.
6. Pressure cook the pork chops: Close the lid of the pressure cooker and set the valve to the 'sealing' position. Select the 'manual' or 'high pressure' function and set the cooking time to 10 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your pork chops, so adjust accordingly. As a general rule, thinner pork chops will require less cooking time, while thicker ones will need a bit more.
7. Release the pressure: Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Then, carefully release any remaining pressure manually. Be cautious when releasing the pressure, as steam can cause burns. Use a kitchen towel or oven mitt to protect your hand.
8. Thicken the sauce (optional): If the sauce is too thin for your liking, you can thicken it by selecting the 'sauté' function again. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency. Be careful not to burn the sauce, so keep a close eye on it.
9. Serve and enjoy: Carefully remove the pork chops from the pressure cooker and place them on a serving platter. Spoon the peach glaze over the pork chops and garnish with fresh parsley or thyme, if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables. Get ready for a flavor explosion that will leave you and your guests wanting more!
