Steps:

• Place on a high heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden and the fat has rendered out, using tongs to ensure they're in good contact with the pan. Gently turn the chops on to their sides to cook for 5 minutes on each side.
• Meanwhile, peel and finely slice the garlic. Strip the rosemary leaves off the sprigs.
• Remove the chops to a plate, drain 90% of the fat from the pan into a jar to use for cooking another day, then sprinkle the garlic into the pan. Stir regularly until golden, then add the rosemary and four drained peach halves, flat side down.
• Jiggle over the heat until golden, then return the chops to the pan, add the bourbon and carefully set fire to it with a match (stand back!).
• Once the flames begin to subside, dish up with the crispy crackling.
