Ingredients
- 4 (1 1/2-inch thick) pork chops
- Safflower or corn oil, for brushing
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Peach-Mustard BBQ Sauce, recipe follows
Prepare an outdoor grill with a high heat for both direct and indirect grilling. Position a drip pan under the grate on the cooler side of the grill.
Brush the pork chops on both sides with oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside for 15 minutes.
Grill the chops over the heat until brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Move them to the cool side of the grill and brush with some of the Peach-Mustard BBQ Sauce. Cook the chops, covered, turning and basting with sauce every 5 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted crosswise into the chops registers 140 degrees F, about 15 minutes more. Let rest for 10 minutes.
To serve: Drizzle the chops with more sauce and serve.
Peach-Mustard BBQ Sauce
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 cup whole-grain mustard
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
3/4 cup peach jam or preserves
1 tablespoon bourbon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the vinegar and boil until almost completely reduced and the mixture looks like wet sand, about 4 minutes. Whisk in both mustards and the jam or preserves. Simmer, whisking, until jam melts, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the bourbon and salt.
Cook's Note: The bourbon is stirred in at the end--uncooked--to give a genuine jolt to the sauce. This Southern blend goes great with pork but is also a good finisher for chicken, duck, or veal.
Yield: about 1 1/4 cups

Just the right mix of flavours and kept the chops moist. I substituted apricot jam for peach, rum for bourbon, just used dijon mustard and regular vinegar. Enough for 6 large chops. Will use this again.

These pork chops are absolutely AMAZING! The flavors were great and they were extremely moist even with the changes that I had to make. We didn't have any whole-grain mustard so I just used 3/4 cup of dijon and I didn't have any burbon so I just left it out. The weather had moved in so the oven became my makeshift grill. I seared the outside in a cast iron skillet then placed the chops on an oven rack with a pan on the next rack down to catch the drippings. Oven was set at 475 then about half way through cooking moved down to 400. Near the end I basted the chops every 2 minutes instead of every 5. This recipe was extremely easy to follow and it was the best pork chop I have ever had! I will definately be making this again!
