- Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
Vegetable oil, for the grill grates
One 10-ounce jar red jalapeno pepper jelly (about 1 1/4 cups)
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
4 bone-in pork chops (about 3 pounds total)
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Boiled potatoes and/or corn on the cob, for serving
Directions
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat; lightly oil the grill grates.
- Combine the jelly, vinegar and thyme in a small saucepot. Warm over low heat, stirring, until the jelly is melted; set half aside for serving.
- Season the pork chops on both sides with the coriander and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill the pork chops until charred with strong grill marks, about 6 minutes. Flip and continue to grill until just slightly pink near the bone, 4 to 5 minutes, brushing generously with the remaining sauce several times.
- Transfer the pork chops to a cutting board to rest for about 5 minutes. Serve with the reserved glaze and potatoes and/or corn on the cob.
