Cherry Chutney Grilled Chops
Description
Marinated pork chops, grilled to crisp perfection and basted in a sweet and spicy black cherry glaze.
Ingredients
•
2 cups cider vinegar
•
2 teaspoons salt
•
1 teaspoon garlic powder
•
1 teaspoon dried basil
•
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
•
8 bone-in pork chops
•
1 (12 ounce) package frozen black cherries, thawed
•
1 cup water
•
1/2 cup white sugar
•
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
Directions
1
Whisk together the vinegar, salt, garlic powder, basil, and red pepper flakes in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the pork chops and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator 6 hours to overnight.
2
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil the grate.
3
While the grill heats, combine the cherries, water, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely, 5 to 10 minutes.
4
Remove the pork chops from the marinade and shake off excess moisture. Discard the remaining marinade.
5
Cook the pork chops on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
6
Drizzle the chutney over the pork chops; garnish with the mint.
