Grilled Pork Chops Peach Glaze
Juicy grilled pork chops glazed with a sweet, tangy peach sauce offer a perfect savory and fruity balance, ideal for summer dinners and backyard cookouts.
Equipment
- 1 grill or grill pan
- 1 small bowl
- 1 brush for oil and glaze
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops bone-in or boneless
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup peach preserves or peach jam
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard or whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 to 2 garlic cloves minced
- Pinch of red pepper flakes or smoked paprika optional
- Fresh parsley or sliced peaches for garnish optional
Instructions
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides and brush lightly with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together peach preserves, mustard, vinegar or lemon juice, and minced garlic. Add red pepper flakes or smoked paprika if desired.
- Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook pork chops 4 to 5 minutes per side until grill marks form and meat is nearly cooked.
- Brush glaze over pork chops and grill additional 1 to 2 minutes per side until glaze caramelizes and pork reaches 145–155 °F.
- Remove chops and rest for a few minutes. Drizzle with extra glaze and garnish with parsley or peaches before serving.
Notes
- Use apricot or mango preserves for flavor variation.
- Add hot sauce or chili flakes to increase spice level.
- Serve with grilled vegetables, rice, or a summer salad.
- Use indirect heat if glaze chars too quickly.
