• Preheat a grill to high. Pat the pork dry and season with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill, then grill the pork, turning, until marked, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the peaches, wine, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan. Remove strips of zest from the lemon with a vegetable peeler and add to the pan; squeeze in the lemon juice.

• Add the mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the juices in the pan. Transfer 1/3 cup of the liquid to a small bowl and stir in the chopped rosemary; brush onto the pork and continue grilling until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145 degrees F, 10 to 15 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEACHES

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Reserve drippings in the skillet.
• Dry pork tenderloin with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger.
• Increase heat to medium-high and brown tenderloin in the bacon drippings on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Removed browned tenderloin from skillet, transfer to a plate, and keep warm.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add onion slices to the same skillet and stir until onions are soft and beginning to take on some color, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add sliced peaches, chicken broth, orange juice concentrate, and remaining ground ginger. Bring to a boil and return tenderloin to the skillet. Pile peaches on top of the meat, cover, reduce heat to simmer, and cook until pork is slightly pink in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Arrange pork and peaches on a serving platter.
• Meanwhile, combine fish sauce, water, and cornstarch in a small bowl and stir until there are no lumps. Increase heat to medium and bring skillet contents back to a boil. Add cornstarch mixture to the liquid in the skillet and stir quickly until sauce is bubbly and thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Pour sauce over pork and peaches. Crumble up cooked bacon and sprinkle over the peaches. Garnish with parsley, if desired, and serve warm.

SUPER EASY PEACHY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to specified temp on the "Shake 'n Bake for Pork" box. (Mine says 425*F).
• Rinse chops under running water, pat dry, and set aside.
• Drain the juice from the can of peaches into a bowl, reserving the sliced peaches in the can.
• Put one envelope of "Shake 'n Bake for Pork" into the designated baggie.
• Place a piece of aluminum foil on a cookie sheet with low edges (for easy clean-up).
• Dredge chops thru the reserved peach juice in the bowl, letting the excess drip off.
• Place 2 chops at a time into the "Shake 'n Bake for Pork" coating, and vigorously shake them to cover completely. Place them on the sheet pan. Continue to do so with the 2 or 4 remaining chops (spacing accordingly).
• Bake according to package (my box says 15 minutes, depending on thickness, at 425*F). After they are almost cooked thru (around 10- 12 minutes, depending on thickness), add 2 -3 slices of peaches to the top of each chop and let bake an additional 5 minutes (or until chops are cooked thru. Do not over-cook).
• Here is the OPTIONAL "peachy stuffing". If not making, just skip to Step #12.
• Note: I sometimes dice up a peach slice to add to the stuffing, but that's entirely up to you. So, let's get out your box of "Stove Top Stuffing for Pork".
• Put the reserved peach juice (that we dredged the chops thru), into a measuring cup. Fill the remainder of the measuring cup with enough water to equal 1 & 2/3 cup liquid (or whatever your box specifies for liquid) and add the butter. Bring to a boil on stove-top over medium heat in a sauce pan and then reduce to a simmer for just a few minutes. Remove from heat, add the stuffing cubes (and diced peach slice, if using) and cover for 5 minutes and fluff with fork. (At this point, stuffing may be mounded onto the tray with the chops to get a little crispy during the last 5 minutes of baking), or just follow directions on box and leave it alone). It may need a splash more water before serving, but be patient. Then you can fluff it with a fork just before dinner.
• Remove chops from oven and let rest for 5 minutes (loosely tented with foil) before eating, so juices will redistribute. I love to serve fresh or frozen green peas with this dish (cooked, of course). They seem to work well together. Serve any remaining peach slices from the can with the meal.
• Enjoy!
