Directions
Heat grill or switch on electric griddle to high setting.
- Mix all ingredients (except pork chops) in small bowl until well incorporated.
- Remove a quarter of the mix and set aside and put the remaining marinade in a storage bag with pork chops and marinate for 4 hours (overnight is even better).
- Grill pork chops for 6–8 minutes each side.
- Glaze one last time before removing from grill and let rest on plates or platter for 7–10 minutes before serving.
TIP: Save the extra peach glaze and use it to spice up other grilled meats and poultry.
