Category: Pork
Keywords: Meat, < 30 Mins, Easy
Ingredients:
- Honey: 2 tablespoons
- Maple Syrup: 2 tablespoons
- Allspice: 1/8 teaspoon
- Salt: 4 pork chops
- Pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- Additional Seasoning: 1/8 teaspoon
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Grill: Start by heating your grill to medium heat. If you’re using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are medium-hot and positioned 4 to 6 inches from the grill grates. For a gas grill, simply preheat to medium.
-
Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1/8 teaspoon of allspice. Stir until well combined, creating a rich and flavorful glaze.
-
Season the Pork Chops: Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over both sides of the pork chops. This will enhance the flavor of the meat and complement the sweetness of the glaze.
-
Brush with Glaze: When the grill is ready, brush each pork chop generously with the honey-maple mixture. This step will help the chops develop a deliciously caramelized coating as they cook.
-
Grill the Pork Chops: Place the pork chops on the grill over medium heat. If using a charcoal grill, position them 4 to 6 inches from the coals. Grill the chops for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink in the center. Turn them once during grilling and brush with the honey-maple glaze occasionally for an extra burst of flavor.
-
Serve: Once cooked through, remove the pork chops from the grill. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve hot and enjoy the sweet, savory taste of these honey maple pork chops.
