Equipment
- 1 grill or grill pan
- 1 small bowl
- 1 brush for glazing
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops bone-in or boneless
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup peach preserves or peach jam
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard or whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 to 2 garlic cloves minced
- Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes or smoked paprika

Instructions
- Season pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides and brush lightly with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together peach preserves, mustard, vinegar or lemon juice, and minced garlic with optional red pepper flakes or smoked paprika.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and place pork chops on grill.
- Grill pork chops for 4 to 5 minutes per side until grill marks form and they are nearly cooked through.
- Brush peach glaze onto chops and continue grilling 1 to 2 minutes per side until glaze caramelizes and pork reaches 145 to 155 °F.
- Remove pork chops from grill and let rest for a few minutes.
- Drizzle with extra glaze and garnish with fresh parsley or sliced peaches before serving.
Notes
- Use apricot or mango preserves for a fruity variation.
- Add hot sauce or chili flakes for spicier glaze.
- Serve with grilled vegetables, rice, or summer salad.
- Use indirect heat if glaze chars too quickly on grill.
