Recipe of the Week

So in my last post I mentioned my new cooking goal of trying at least one new recipe a week. Well this is week two of that. Last weeks was a disaster so I didn't even want to post it on here. This weeks turned out much better!

No this isn't a picture of what mine looked like. I was to hungry and it smelt to good to wait to take a picture!

Peach-Glazed Barbecue Pork Chops and Peaches

Ingredients:

3 cups chopped peeled peaches (about 1 1/2 pounds)

1 cup dry white wine (I substituted 1 cup of chicken broth since we don't consume alcohol)

1/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons molasses
1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

6 (6-ounce) bone-in center-cut pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick), trimmed

6 peaches, halved and pitted

Cooking spray

Preparation:

Combine first 3 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 25 minutes. Uncover and simmer 5 minutes. Place peach mixture in a food processor; process until smooth. Add 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, vinegar, and next 4 ingredients (vinegar through red pepper); pulse to combine. Let stand 5 minutes. Place half of peach mixture in a large heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; reserve other half for basting. Add chops to bag; seal bag and refrigerate 30 minutes to 4 hours.

Preheat grill.

Remove pork from bag; discard marinade. Sprinkle pork with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Place pork and peach halves on grill rack coated with cooking spray, and grill 10 minutes or until the pork is done and the peaches are tender, turning once. Baste pork and peach halves with the reserved peach mixture every 2 minutes during the first 6 minutes of cooking.


We liked this recipe a lot and will make it again! Hubby says to give it a little more kick next time though.
