jalapeño peach barbecue sauce & broiled pork chops

How To Make jalapeño peach barbecue sauce & broiled pork chops

• 1

  To make the sauce: Turn on the broiler, and place a rack 6 inches away from the heating element.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 5

  Add to the blender the ketchup and tomato sauce and blend until smooth.
• 6

  Pour the sauce into a saucepan and stir in the molasses, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, clove, nutmeg, and ginger
• 7

  Cook the sauce on low heat, occasionally stirring, for 20 minutes.
• 8

  The sauce should be thick and darkened.(Warning—as it cooks the sauce will probably splatter.)
• 9

  Stir in the smoked paprika, then taste and adjust any seasonings. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• 10

  Meanwhile, while the sauce is cooking, lightly salt and pepper each side of the pork chops and have them come to room temperature.
• 11

  Line a sheet pan with foil and top with a lightly greased rack.
• 12

  Place the pork chops on top of the rack.
• 13

  Spread on each chop about 1 to 2 tablespoons of jalapeño peach barbecue sauce on the side facing up.
• 14

  Place under the broiler for 5 minutes. (If you don’t have a rack, don’t worry.
• 15

  You can also use a cast-iron skillet to cook the chops, as I often do because my broiler is so small!
• 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.)
• 17

  Remove the chops from the broiler.
• 18

  With tongs, flip them over and again apply more jalapeño peach barbecue sauce to the other side of each chop.
• 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.
• 20

  Remove the chops from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
