Peach Teriyaki Glaze Ingredients
•  1/4 cup Tamari soy sauce
• 6 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 teaspoons fresh garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons onion, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in one tablespoon water
• 1 15 oz. can California Cling Peaches in light syrup, drained
• 1 tablespoon sliced almonds
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves, chopped
• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Pork Chops and Marinade Ingredients
• 4 portions center cut pork chops weighing 8-10 oz. each
• 2 tablespoons Tamari soy sauce
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard (optional)
• 2 tablespoons canola oil for sautéing

Peach Teriyaki Glaze Preparation
Heat the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar and ginger in a 4-qt. saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and simmer gently for 3 or 4 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch, lower the heat and whisk until the teriyaki glaze has thickened, about 20 seconds. Carefully stir in the California Cling Peaches with a rubber spatula, taking care to bathe them completely in the glaze. Gently simmer for another minute to warm the peaches. Note: This glaze can be made in advance and re-heated for service.

Pork Chops Preparation
For the marinade, whisk the soy sauce into the dry mustard in a stainless steel bowl. Toss the pork chops in this mixture and drain well. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the pork chops for 8 to 10 minutes on each side. (The pork chops may also be grilled or baked.) Remove from skillet, season generously with salt and ground pepper and allow to rest for 3 minutes. Place the pork chops onto 4 warmed plates and top with Peach Teriyaki Glaze. Garnish with sliced almonds and basil. Serve immediately.
