Ingredients:

• 4 boneless pork chops, 1" thick sliced

Pork Chop Glaze:

• 1 whole chipotle pepper packed in adobo sauce
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp fresh garlic, minced
• 4 Tbl hoisin sauce

Peach Salsa:

• 3 large peaches, peeled and diced (about 2 cups)
• 1/2 medium red onion, diced
• 1 small jalapeno, seeded and diced
• 1/2 bunch of cilantro, chopped
• 1-2 Tbl lime juice

First, combine all ingredients for pork chop glaze in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Marinade pork chops with enough sauce to coat well (using no more than half) in a glass bowl or gallon-sized zip -top bag, removing excess air. Let marinade for at least 30 minutes.

In a saucepan, simmer remaining glaze until it starts to thicken (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and allow to cool.

For the peach salsa, combine all ingredients in a glass bowl and stir well. Add salt/pepper to taste. Cover and set in fridge until ready to use.

To grill chops: Set grill to 350 degrees and grill for 6-8 minutes on first side, brushing with additional glaze, and flipping to cook on the other side for an additional 6-8 minutes, again brushing with glaze.

Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes, then serve with additional cooked glaze and top with peach salsa.

YUM!
