Marinate the Pork Chops
- Combine the marinade ingredients: raspberry balsamic vinegar, water, minced garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil, ground basil, and oregano. Mix until well combined.

Prepare the Raspberry Sauce
- In a small pan over medium heat, combine sugar, water, and raspberries. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer.
- Add 1 teaspoon of raspberry balsamic vinegar and chili flakes to the sauce, cooking until it reduces in half.
Cook the Pork Chops

Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the pork chops overnight. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork reaches the right internal temperature. You can also add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for a nice crunch.
