Barbecued Pork Chops with Basil, Mustard & Fresh Peaches

A beautiful late summer barbecue dish!

  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped fresh basil or mint
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) red pepper jelly, melted
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) grainy mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
  • Pinch pepper
  • 2 firm ripe peaches (unpeeled), sliced
  • 4 pork loin chops (bone in) (1 1/2 lbs/625 g)

In bowl, mix basil, red pepper jelly, vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper.

In separate bowl, toss peaches with 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the jelly mixture. Add pork chops to remaining mixture, turning to coat; let stand for 20 minutes.

Place chops and peaches on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning halfway through, until peaches are browned, about 6 minutes. Remove peaches; keep warm. Cook chops until just a hint of pink remains inside, about 4 minutes longer.
