Jalapeno Peach Pork Chops Recipes

FRESH FRUIT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until light brown, 6 to 10 minutes Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add fresh fruit, dried fruit, sugar, vinegar, water, chiles and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring often. Reduce heat to maintain a lively simmer and cook until thickened, 30 to 40 minutes. To test doneness, put a spoonful of chutney on a plate and draw a spoon through the center. If no liquid seeps into the middle, it's done. Return to a simmer to thicken more if necessary.
• If freezing or refrigerating, ladle the chutney into clean canning jars to within 1/2 inch of the rim. Wipe rims clean. Cover with lids. Let the jars stand at room temperature until cool before refrigerating or freezing. Or process in a water bath to store at room temperature (see Tip).

JUICY GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH SPICY PEACH GLAZE

Steps:

• In a container large enough to hold your meat, dissolve the salt in water. Add pork chops. If there's not enough liquid to cover, add a solution of 1 cup of water and 1 Tablespoon of salt until the pork chops are completely submerged. Let sit for at least 30 minutes and up until 2 hours.
• Meanwhile (right before grilling), make the glaze. Add wine, jam, jalapeno and red pepper flakes to a small saucepan over low-medium heat. Bring to a boil and simmer until reduced by half and the mixture is thick and syrupy. Remove from heat and stir in butter. Set aside.
• Remove pork chops from the brining solution and pat dry. Season each side with coarse ground black pepper.
• Preheat all grill burners on high for 15 minutes. Turn all burners down to low and place the pork chops on the grill. Turn and rotate the chops every five minutes for about 15-20 minutes before starting to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. (Your grill will have its own hot spots, rotate the chops around for even cooking.)
• When chops reach an internal temperature of at least 135 degrees F, begin brushing the glaze on each side of the pork chop. Continue grilling the pork chops until they reach the desired temperature of 145 degrees F. To check doneness properly, use a digital cooking thermometer to measure the temperature at the thickest part of the cut without touching any bone. Once you have reached the desired internal temperature of 145 degrees F, remove them from heat and let the pork chops rest for three minutes.
• Serve immediately.

Bake for 6 minutes, then flip the chops over and cover in another spoonful of glaze and more sage leaves. Cook in intervals of 5 minutes, checking for doneness until just cooked. Properly cooked pork chops should have an internal temperature of 145°F. Mine typically take about 15 minutes total in the oven, but this can vary depending on the thickness of the cut.

JALAPEñO PEACH BARBECUE SAUCE WITH BROILED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• To make the sauce, turn on the broiler, and place a rack 6 inches away from the heating element. Place in a large cast-iron skillet or on a foil-lined sheet the sliced peaches, skin side down, the onion, the garlic, and the jalapenos, skin side up. Place under the broiler, and cook for 5 minutes or until the peaches, garlic, onion, and jalapeños are softened and have begun to blacken. Remove from the oven. When cool enough to handle, peel off the skin from the peaches (don't worry if it doesn't all come off) and place in a blender along with the onion, garlic, and jalapeño.
• Add to the blender the ketchup and tomato sauce and blend until smooth. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and stir in the molasses, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, clove, nutmeg, and ginger. Cook the sauce on low heat, occasionally stirring, for 20 minutes. The sauce should be thick and darkened. (Warning-as it cooks the sauce will probably splatter.) Stir in the smoked paprika, then taste and adjust any seasonings. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Meanwhile, while the sauce is cooking, lightly salt and pepper each side of the pork chops and have them come to room temperature. Line a sheet pan with foil and top with a lightly greased rack. Place the pork chops on top of the rack. Spread on each chop about 1 to 2 tablespoons of jalapeño peach barbecue sauce on the side facing up. Place under the broiler for 5 minutes. (If you don't have a rack, don't worry. You can also use a cast-iron skillet to cook the chops, as I often do because my broiler is so small! Also, I've just left the broiler on the whole time from the first step, but if you prefer to turn it off and then on again that's fine.)
• Remove the chops from the broiler. With tongs, flip them over and again apply more jalapeño peach barbecue sauce to the other side of each chop. Place under the broiler and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the sauce is blackened in places and the chops are 140°F. Remove the chops from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
