Pork with Peach Sauce

August 22, 2018

This Pork with Peach Sauce is a good recipe to make now that school is starting up again. It’s a quick and easy, hassle-free dinner recipe using fresh and juicy seasonal peaches!

The crazy season is back. The kids are back in school (relief!), but all of the homework and activities surrounding back-to-school time can make dinner preparation kind of challenging.

My goal today is to share a recipe that is really easy to make (less than 30 minutes), and to give you a recipe that the kids will like too. This recipe for Pork with Peach Sauce fits both of those needs!

The recipe begins with Smithfield Applewood Smoked Bacon Marinated Fresh Pork Loin Filet. 100% fresh pork is slow-marinated and perfectly seasoned (no artificial ingredients). I use Smithfield’s already-marinated pork quite often because the flavors are always spot-on and so easy to make for dinner.

This variety of pork is so perfect for this recipe because it has already been seasoned, and you don’t have to wait for anything to marinate.

WHERE DO YOU BUY SMITHFIELD PORK?

I see the Smithfield pork products most often at Walmart, but several grocery retailers around the country carry their products too– Bashas, Winco and Fry’s to name a few.

This Pork with Peach Sauce recipe calls for using fresh peaches. If you’re not up for using fresh peaches, you can sub canned or frozen peaches for fresh.

How to Peel Peaches:

You’ll need to remove the fuzzy skin of the peaches. It’s pretty easy to do (and this is a handy tip if you ever want to make fresh peach pie too!) Score the peaches with an “X.” Drop peaches into a large pot of boiling water. Let the peaches roll around in the boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute (until the skins loosen).

Remove the peaches from the boiling water and add them to a bowl of ice water (about 30 seconds). Remove the peaches to a cutting board and use your fingers to slide the skins off. It’s that easy! Just cut them in half to remove the pits, slice them, and now your peaches are ready for anything.

The fresh peach sauce is very easy to make. Just combine the sauce ingredients and bring them all to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until the peaches soften up, begin to break apart and the sauce thickens.

And there is your beautiful fresh peach sauce! I like to make this either the night before or sometime in the afternoon. Then it can be refrigerated and easily re-heated at dinnertime.

Since the pork is already marinated and smack-full of wonderful flavor, you’ll just go ahead and remove it from the packaging, scrape away the extra bacon bits, slice the pork and sauté it in a hot skillet.

The whole thing takes about 6 or 7 minutes since the pork cooks up so quickly.
