brown sugar pork chops
Pork. The other white meat. Indeed. I have been trying to incorporate summer into every meal lately and what better way than to grab some fresh fruit, roll out the grill, turn up the heat, and grill some meat? I am a sweet person and my husband is salty. This dish incorporates the best of both worlds and we are both satisfied at the picnic table. Whoever said grilling had to be hamburgers and hot dogs? You can whip up a tasty, healthy, fruitful meal on the grill in 5 minutes and leave everyone wondering how you found the time.

Grill these brown sugar pork chops for a fantastic summer meal. They're brushed with a fruit glaze with unusual ingredients that create a tasty sauce.

Sweet and savory, they're delicious with roasted asparagus and sauteed asparagus.
