Too sweet for me but Mr. liked it.

Sooo yummy!

Made this last night and it turned out better than I thought it would. I used white onion because that's what I had, but it was still superb!!! The sweet flavor the sauce takes on is so good. I know that balsamic vinegar gets sweeter and thicker when you cook it anyway, but the brown sugar and butter just adds that extra something special!

I reduced the butter by a tablespoon, using only 1/2 tbsp to brown the pork and a 1/2 to cook the onions. I put a full tbsp in at the end, and also upped the rosemary to a full teaspoon. This was a delicious recipe, the contrast of the onions with the sweetness of the balsamic reduction was really flavorful and so different from the average fruit/honey/maple flavors in most pork chop recipes. We will definitely keep this in the rotation!

Pretty tasty! Nothing extraordinary but I liked them! I added garlic because everything is better with garlic and crushed red pepper for a hint of spice!

The balsamic vinegar with brown sugar is a wonderful combination

So flavorful and quick prep time! My husband isn't usually much for pork chops and he practically licked his plate clean.
