Recipe makes for 4 Servings

2 lbs pork chops

MARINADE:

2 tbsp butter

2 lbs ripe peaches or other fruit peeled, deseeded and chopped

2 tbsp peeled and finely chopped fresh ginger

6 allspice berries

one 1/2-inch piece cinnamon

3 tbsp light soy sauce

1 tbsp dark soy sauce

1/2 cup red wine

2-3 tbsp honey


Directions:

To make the marinade and glaze, place the butter in a pot and set over medium heat. Add the peaches and, when they start to brown, add the ginger, spices, soy sauce and red wine.

Continue to simmer for a few minutes. Add 2 tbsp of honey and stir to dissolve. Taste to check sweetness and add more honey if needed. Divide into two equal portions: 1 for the marinade and 1 for glaze and serving sauce. Set aside to let cool.

Place the pork chops and half of the cooled marinade in a shallow tray. Turn the chops to thoroughly coat with the marinade and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.

Prepare the grill with high and medium heat zones. Just before grilling remove pork from marinade and sprinkle pork with salt and oil the hot grate. 

Place the chops on the grate over the high heat and grill each side for 2-3 minutes until nicely browned. Move to medium heat and grill for another 2-3 minutes until done. Glaze regularly with the other half of the boiled peach mixture.


Check for doneness and serve leftover glaze with the pork as a sauce.
