Grilled Pork Chops With Tangy Peach BBQ Sauce

By Dianewaldron

Grilled pork chops are a nice alternative to chicken breasts. Ask your butcher for 'bone in' for more flavor. I love fresh peach in the sauce to add a sweet essence.

Ingredients

• For the pork chops:
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 10-ounce pork chops (1 inch thick)
• For the tangy peach BBQ sauce:
• 1 cup barbecue sauce
• 1 ripe peach, peeled and diced
• 2 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon water

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, mix olive oil, brown sugar, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Rub onto pork, and put chops in 2 re-sealable plastic bags. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine barbecue sauce, diced peach, apple-cider vinegar, and water, stirring until it reaches a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree.
Light grill to medium heat. Cook chops about 12 minutes per side. Brush each with barbecue mixture. Cover and grill 4 more minutes until a nice gaze is created. Serve with extra sauce on the side.
