Ingredients
Sauce:
- 8 cups chicken stock
- 6 ounces frozen concentrated Granny Smith apple juice
- 1/4 cup tightly packed dark brown sugar
- 8 whole black peppercorns
- Salt
Maple Glaze:
- 1 1/2 cups maple syrup
- 1/4 cup prepared horseradish, drained
- 2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
Pork Chops:
- 1/2 cup ancho chile powder
- 1/2 cup pasilla chile powder
- 1/2 cup chopped garlic
- 1 center cut pork loin (9 bones)
Directions
Combine the stock, apple juice, sugar and peppercorns in a medium saucepan over high heat and reduce to 3 cups. Season to taste with salt and strain through a fine strainer.Mix all ingredients until well combined.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the chile powders and garlic.
Season the pork loin to taste with salt and pepper and rub all surfaces with the chile mixture. In a large roasting pan, roast the loin until medium rare, about 40 minutes.
When cool enough to handle, cut between the bones into 8 chops. In a heavy ridged grill pan, sear the chops 3 minutes on each side until grill marked. Place on a serving platter and brush with maple glaze. Serve with sauce and chutney on the side.
Apple Ginger Chutney:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon minced jalapeno
- 2 tablespoons finely diced ginger
- 2 medium oranges, zest removed and finely sliced, flesh cut into segments
- 2 cups fresh orange juice
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 6 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons finely diced red pepper
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the onion and jalapeno until the onion is translucent.
Add the ginger, orange zest, orange juice, vinegar, brown sugar and honey and cook until the sauce is reduced by half and has a glazed appearance. Reduce the heat to low, add two thirds of the apple slices, and cook until the fruit is just tender.
Turn off the heat and gently fold in the remaining apples and the orange segments. Pour the chutney into a bowl and allow to cool to room temperature.
Mix in the cilantro, red bell pepper and salt and pepper to taste.

I wrote a thorough comment about this recipe, and the site didn't save it, stating technical difficulties that they were working on...so this is a test to see if they have indeed fixed their issue. That's 30 mins I'll never get back.

These pork chops are the best. Pork chops with the bone in are the only way to go. Brush the chops with a little olive oil. You do not need much. Just enough to coat lightly. Then I add sea salt and ground pepper. Let the chops come to room temperature. An hour or so. Next brush with the Maple Glaze. Let that marinate for at least a half hour. An hour or so is best. Let your grill get really hot. Leave it on high. Brush some additional Maple Glaze on after placing the chops on the grill. Turn and brush again. The chops will be awesome. Do not worry about over cooking them as the glaze keeps that from happening. The grill marks are awesome. Oh, and us 100% maple syrup for the glaze. It is well worth it as you will see.
