GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH PEACH BBQ SAUCE

If you're tired of grilling chicken, try some pork! And if you have access to some fresh peaches, you might want to try this peachy BBQ Sauce. These are wonderful!!

In a bowl, mix:

2 T olive oil
2 T brown sugar
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper

Rub this onto pork chops - this should be enough for about 6 10 ounce pork chops that are 1 inch thick - and place them in 2 resealable plastic bags. Refrigerate them for at least 1 hour, or if planning ahead, do this the night before you're going to grill.

For the BBQ Sauce:

1 cup BBQ sauce of your choice
1 ripe peach, peeled and diced
2 T apple-cider vinegar
1 T water

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sauce, diced peach, apple-cider vinegar and water, stirring until it reaches a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree.

Cook the pork chops about 12 minutes per side. Brush each with BBQ sauce, cover and grill 4 more minutes, until a nice glaze is created. Serve with extra sauce on the side.

Let me know how you like it!

Happy Cooking!!
