Melt the butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat until it begins to brown. Add the chops and cook until well browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chops to an oven-safe dish and finish cooking in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145° F. Let rest for 4 to 5 minutes before serving.

Add the blueberry jelly and bring to boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the sauce is thickened and reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 4 minutes. Stir in the fresh blueberries and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops and serve.

About
This was inspired by a popular Milanese recipe. And what a great way to use blueberries when they are at the peak of their season. The sweetness of the berries blends beautifully with thyme in this super simple preparation that celebrates the last days of summer. I've included a link to a good recipe for blueberry jelly in case you'd like to prepare that,too.
