In a bowl, combine pitted cherries, red wine vinegar, sugar, and thyme.

Marinate the cherries for at least 30 minutes to enhance their flavor.

Grill the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.

Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.

In a saucepan, combine marinated cherries, garlic, and olive oil over medium heat.

Cook until the cherries soften and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.

Add lemon juice and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then add it to the cherry mixture to thicken.

Stir in butter for richness and remove from heat.

Serve the grilled pork chops topped with the cherry sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
