jalapeño peach barbecue sauce & broiled pork chops

How To Make jalapeño peach barbecue sauce & broiled pork chops

• Step 1
  To make the sauce: Turn on the broiler, and place a rack 6 inches away from the heating element.
• Step 2
  Place in a large cast-iron skillet or on a foil-lined sheet the sliced peaches, skin side down, the onion, the garlic, and the jalapenos, skin side up.
• Step 3
  Place under the broiler, and cook for 5 minutes or until the peaches, garlic, onion, and jalapeños are softened and have begun to blacken.
• Step 4
  Remove from the oven. When cool enough to handle, peel off the skin from the peaches (don’t worry if it doesn’t all come off) and place in a blender along with the onion, garlic, and jalapeño.
• Step 5
  Add to the blender the ketchup and tomato sauce and blend until smooth.
• Step 6
  Pour the sauce into a saucepan and stir in the molasses, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, clove, nutmeg, and ginger
• Step 7
  Cook the sauce on low heat, occasionally stirring, for 20 minutes.
• Step 8
  The sauce should be thick and darkened.(Warning—as it cooks the sauce will probably splatter.)
• Step 9
  Stir in the smoked paprika, then taste and adjust any seasonings. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Step 10
  Meanwhile, while the sauce is cooking, lightly salt and pepper each side of the pork chops and have them come to room temperature.
• Step 11
  Line a sheet pan with foil and top with a lightly greased rack.
• Step 12
  Place the pork chops on top of the rack.
• Step 13
  Spread on each chop about 1 to 2 tablespoons of jalapeño peach barbecue sauce on the side facing up.
• Step 14
  Place under the broiler for 5 minutes. (If you don’t have a rack, don’t worry.
• Step 15
  You can also use a cast-iron skillet to cook the chops, as I often do because my broiler is so small!
• Step 16
  Also, I’ve just left the broiler on the whole time from the first step, but if you prefer to turn it off and then on again that’s fine.)
• Step 17
  Remove the chops from the broiler.
• Step 18
  With tongs, flip them over and again apply more jalapeño peach barbecue sauce to the other side of each chop.
• Step 19
  Place under the broiler and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the sauce is blackened in places and the chops are 140 degrees.
• Step 20
  Remove the chops from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
