Steps:
- To cut chops from a bone-in pork loin, follow along the rib bone with a sharp knife to make one clean cut. Season the pork chops thoroughly with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. One at a time, cover each chop with a piece of plastic wrap and lightly pound with the back of a heavy knife or a spoon to work the seasoning into the chops.Cut the peaches into medium ½-inch chunks. Slice the garlic cloves into thin slivers. Pull the sage leaves from the stems and thinly slice.
- Heat a heavy bottomed cast-iron pan over high heat. Once the pan is hot, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
- To the hot pan, add all of the chops standing up on their fat cap side, to render off some of the fat, and pan-sear for a few minutes. Remove two of the chops, and lay the other two down on their meatier sides, to pan sear and cook through. After a few minutes, carefully turn over and brown the other side for another few minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest.
- Repeat for the remaining chops. Remove from the pan and let rest with the other pork chops.Drain and discard some of the cooking oil. Add the peaches to the pan and sauté vigorously, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and sage, and immediately add the apple cider. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the butter and swirl the mixture together, to emulsify the butter into the peaches. Remove from the heat.
- Stack the rested pork chops on a platter and finish by spooning the peaches and pan juices over top. Serve immediately.
BOURBON-GLAZED PEACHES WITH MASCARPONE CREAM
My solution to not-so-great-tasting peaches is to roast, grill or saute them. It adds so much extra flavor. A little salt, a little sugar and, in this case, a little bourbon ... the ideas are endless!

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Sprinkle the peaches with the salt and place them cut-side down in the skillet. Cook until the peaches begin to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the peaches and cook on the other side for 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the cut sides with the brown sugar. Flip again and cook for another 5 minutes. Pour in the bourbon to deglaze the pan and toss and flip the peaches a few times.
- Whisk together the mascarpone, heavy cream, honey and vanilla until smooth.
- Divide the peaches among 4 plates and top each with a few dollops of the mascarpone cream. Add another drizzle of honey if you'd like more sweetness. Sprinkle with fresh mint and serve.

Steps:
- Build a fire in your grill, leaving about 1/3 of grill free of coals.
- Mix butter and molasses together well. Add lime and set aside. Rub cut side of peaches with oil.
- Sprinkle chops and peaches generously with salt and pepper. When coals are covered with gray ash and fire is hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above coals for only 1 to 2 seconds), put chops on grill directly over coals. Put peaches on grill along edge of coals.
- After 4 minutes, flip chops and cook for 4 minutes more, then move chops to part of grill with no coals. Cover them with a disposable foil pan, and continue to cook for 8 to 10 minutes more for medium.
- When you move chops, flip peaches over. During last 2 minutes of cooking, coat peaches liberally with molasses-butter mixture. Remove from grill and serve.

SWEET BAKED RICOTTA WITH GLAZED PEACHES
From "A Taste of Australia: The Bather's Pavilion Cookbook" by Victoria Alexander and Genevieve Harris, this ricotta is easier to turn out and slice when it is cold, so you can bake it the day before you wish to serve it, slice it when it is cold and then let it come to room temperature. It is best made in a nonstick loaf tin, 25 cm (10 in) long, 5 cm (2 in) wide and 7.5 cm (3 in) deep. The baked ricotta is also delicious served with fresh fruits. Prep time does not include time to cool ricotta.

Steps:
- To bake the ricotta:
- Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the ricotta and the eggs.
- Split the vanilla bean and scrape in the seeds.
- Sift in the icing sugar and mix thoroughly. Spoon the ricotta mixture into the loaf tin and cover with aluminum foil.
- Place the tin into a slightly larger baking pan and pour in enough water to come about half-way up the side of the loaf tin. Carefully place the baking pan in the oven. Bake the ricotta for 40 minutes, or until firm.
- When the ricotta is ready, remove the loaf tin from the water bath and remove the foil. Let the ricotta cool, then cover it with plastic wrap (cling film) and refrigerate. When it is thoroughly cold you can turn it out of the tin and slice it as required.
- It will have more flavour if you allow it to warm to room temperature before serving it.
- To glaze the peaches:
- Preheat the griller (broiler) to hot.
- Halve the peaches and remove the skins if desired (if using frozen peaches, defrost). Sprinkle with the extra icing sugar and place under the griller (broiler) until the sugar is caramelised, about 2-5 minutes.
- To serve, arrange ricotta slices and two peach halves on each plate.
