Peach Glazed Barbecue Pork Chops And Peaches Recipes

Steps:

• Build a fire in your grill, leaving about 1/3 of grill free of coals.
• Mix butter and molasses together well. Add lime and set aside. Rub cut side of peaches with oil.
• Sprinkle chops and peaches generously with salt and pepper. When coals are covered with gray ash and fire is hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above coals for only 1 to 2 seconds), put chops on grill directly over coals. Put peaches on grill along edge of coals.
• After 4 minutes, flip chops and cook for 4 minutes more, then move chops to part of grill with no coals. Cover them with a disposable foil pan, and continue to cook for 8 to 10 minutes more for medium.
• When you move chops, flip peaches over. During last 2 minutes of cooking, coat peaches liberally with molasses-butter mixture. Remove from grill and serve.

Steps:

• To cut chops from a bone-in pork loin, follow along the rib bone with a sharp knife to make one clean cut. Season the pork chops thoroughly with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. One at a time, cover each chop with a piece of plastic wrap and lightly pound with the back of a heavy knife or a spoon to work the seasoning into the chops.Cut the peaches into medium ½-inch chunks. Slice the garlic cloves into thin slivers. Pull the sage leaves from the stems and thinly slice.
• Heat a heavy bottomed cast-iron pan over high heat. Once the pan is hot, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
• To the hot pan, add all of the chops standing up on their fat cap side, to render off some of the fat, and pan-sear for a few minutes. Remove two of the chops, and lay the other two down on their meatier sides, to pan sear and cook through. After a few minutes, carefully turn over and brown the other side for another few minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest.
• Repeat for the remaining chops. Remove from the pan and let rest with the other pork chops.Drain and discard some of the cooking oil. Add the peaches to the pan and sauté vigorously, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and sage, and immediately add the apple cider. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the butter and swirl the mixture together, to emulsify the butter into the peaches. Remove from the heat.
• Stack the rested pork chops on a platter and finish by spooning the peaches and pan juices over top. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from pork chops. Pat dry and season both sides with salt. Set aside.
• Mix red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ½ tsp. cumin seeds, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a small bowl to combine. Heat honey in a small saucepan over medium just until warm. Remove pan from heat and stir in spice mixture. Set spiced honey aside.
• Toss peaches, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, remaining ½ tsp. cumin seeds, and remaining 2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt in a medium bowl to combine. Chill peach pico de gallo until ready to serve.
• Prepare a grill for 2-zone heat (for a charcoal grill, bank two thirds of coals on one side of grill and scatter remaining coals on other side; for a gas grill, set one burner to high heat and remaining burners to medium-low); oil grate. Grill reserved chops on hotter side of grill, moving to cooler side as needed to control flare-ups, until lightly charred on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Move pork chops to cooler side of grill, cover, and grill, turning often and basting with reserved spiced honey, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of pork chops registers 145°, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer pork chops to a platter and let rest 10 minutes.
• Spoon peach pico de gallo over pork chops just before serving.

Steps:

• Simmer preserves, vinegar, thyme, and cayenne in saucepan over medium heat until reduced to 1 cup, about 3 (three) minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup mixture as glaze for chops. Add peaches to saucepan with remaining mixture and simmer over low heat until peaches are soft and mixture is slightly thickened, about 10 (ten) minutes. Remove from heat, stir in mustard. Cover and keep warm.
• Season pork with salt and pepper and grill over hot fire approximately 6 (six) minutes per side. Brush with reserved glaze and cook 1 (one) minute longer, per side. Transfer to platter and let rest 5 (five) minutes, to allow internal juices to redistribute. Pour sliced peach mixture over chops and serve.
