Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup peach preserves
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Brush each chop with olive oil on both sides.
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
While the grill is preheating, prepare the peach glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the peach preserves, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Stir continuously until the glaze is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reads 145°F on a meat thermometer.
During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the peach glaze generously over each pork chop, allowing it to caramelize slightly on the grill.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired, and serve immediately with any remaining peach glaze on the side.
