SERVES 4
INGREDIENTS
- 1 (10-oz.) jar jalapeno pepper jelly
- 1/2 cup dry white wine, *I use chicken broth
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil *Or 1/2 tsp. dried.
- 4 (1-inch-thick) bone-in pork loin chops
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
WHAT TO DO
- Cook first 3 ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring often, 5 minutes or until pepper jelly melts. Remove from heat, and let mixture cool completely.
- Pour 3/4 cup pepper jelly mixture into a large zip-top plastic freezer bag, reserving remaining mixture; add pork chops, turning to coat. Seal and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes, turning pork chops occasionally.
- Remove chops from marinade, discarding marinade. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.
- Grill, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat, 350° to 375°, 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 160°. Serve with remaining pepper jelly mixture.
*There a couple of things I change up. I substitute white wine with chicken broth. I also will sear these chops quickly, on occasion, in my non-stick skillet and finish cooking them off in the oven. Make sure your skillet is oven proof. You can easily substitute boneless skinless chicken breast in place of pork chops.
